In an interview with Inverse, The Beekeeper actor talked about how he was down to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe once again if he was given a chance. Although getting rejected for The Amazing Spider-Man, Hutcherson wouldn’t mind throwing some webs around!
“You never find out. They just end up hiring somebody else. So, I never found out why. I also do know that three weeks or so after I auditioned, I ended up getting Hunger Games, so it kind of worked out.”
He further continued,
“I was a big Spider-Man fan all my life growing up from the old-school cartoons and stuff. But yeah, I’d be open to it, man. I’d throw some webs around.”
With Hutcherson getting fame for The Beekeeper, his co-star Jason Statham and director David Ayer are on even greater heights as the movie received rave reviews. David Ayer even revealed that it was Jason Statham’s action choreography that helped the movie get such exciting fight scenes!

In an interview with SlashFilm David Ayer talked about how Jason Statham schooled him about action and fight scenes even though Ayer had directed movies like Suicide Squad, Fury, and, Street Kings. 
He schooled me. I mean, let’s be real: He’s an action icon, and he’s probably forgotten more about action than I know. He really raised my game. He really helped me get under the hood of, what is action? How does it work? And he has this encyclopedic knowledge of, like, literally every punch ever thrown on film.”
He further continued,
The great thing with Jason is, he can come in, look at where your camera is, look at the light, understand the choreo[graphy], and go, ‘No, you need to move the camera two feet to the left.’ ‘OK, throw the punch now? Oh, dang, that worked. Wow!’ So it’s helpful, in a way, because he’s laser-focused on getting it right.”
With Jason Statham in the lead role and Josh Hutcherson starring alongside the actor, The Beekeeper received a rating of 6.7/10 on IMDB and 68% on Rotten Tomatoes. The movie, with a recent release date of 12th January 2024, is currently screening in theaters across the U.S.
