🚗 The Transporter 5 (2025): Status, Rumors, and the Future of Frank Martin
The Transporter 5 has long been a topic of interest among action fans and followers of Jason Statham’s iconic role as Frank Martin—the elite driver with a strict code. Despite ongoing speculation and fan-made trailers, as of June 2025, there is still no official confirmation or production timeline for The Transporter 5.
📜 Franchise Background
The Transporter franchise began in 2002, created by Luc Besson, and quickly gained popularity for its sleek action, choreographed car chases, and the stoic yet charismatic lead played by Jason Statham. Three successful installments were released between 2002 and 2008, solidifying Statham’s status as a modern action star.
In 2015, the series was rebooted with The Transporter Refueled, starring Ed Skrein in the lead role. However, the reboot received mixed reviews and failed to reach the popularity of the original trilogy, casting doubt on future entries.
🛠️ What Happened to The Transporter 5?
Back in 2013, it was announced that EuropaCorp had plans to produce three new Transporter films (parts 4, 5, and 6) in partnership with China-based Fundamental Films. While The Transporter Refueled was released in 2015, the other two planned sequels—Transporter 5 and Transporter 6—never materialized.
Since then, updates have been sparse. Despite a few hopeful interviews and fan speculation, there have been no official updates, production schedules, or casting announcements for Transporter 5 since 2015. The film remains stuck in development limbo.

🎬 Jason Statham’s Involvement
Jason Statham, who refused to return for the 2015 reboot, has remained quiet about reprising his role as Frank Martin. In recent interviews, Statham has hinted that he only returns to franchises when the script and direction feel right, as seen in Fast & Furious and The Meg.
Fans continue to hope for his return to the Transporter universe, especially with his growing popularity in global action cinema. However, without an official project, Statham’s return remains speculative.
📺 Fan-Made Trailers and Rumors
Multiple fan-made trailers for The Transporter 5 have gone viral online, many of them cleverly edited to feature Jason Statham, slick car chases, and explosive action. These trailers often mislead viewers into thinking the film is officially underway—but as of now, no real trailer has been released by any studio.
🔮 The Future of The Franchise
Despite the silence, there is still potential:
-
The original trilogy retains a strong fan base.
-
Jason Statham remains an A-list action star.
-
Action franchises like John Wick and Fast & Furious have proven the genre is still profitable.
-
Luc Besson's production company, EuropaCorp, has hinted at reviving past franchises following financial restructuring.
If rebooted or revived correctly—with Statham back behind the wheel—The Transporter 5 could reignite the franchise and introduce Frank Martin to a new generation.
✅ Conclusion
The Transporter 5 is not officially in production, but its legacy endures. With fan interest still high and action cinema thriving, the possibility remains open. Until then, fans can revisit the original trilogy and keep their fingers crossed for the day Jason Statham suits up again as the world’s most disciplined driver.
