Just a few days ago, filming began on the fourth part of the franchise. "John Wick". Its chief director reported on this Chad Stahelski. We recently wrote that the cast of the future film strengthened classic of Chinese combat cinema Donnie Yen (Ip Man franchise), but the news didn't stop there.
It is known for certain that the cast John Wick 4 Famous Japanese actor joined Hiroyuki Sanada ("Mortal Kombat", "Rush Hour 3"), which should have played hitman Zero in the third film. But due to injury the role was withdrawn Mark Dacascos. In the new action movie, Sanada will portray another, as yet unnamed, main villain on the screen.
Even more interesting for fans of action films was the news that a British screen fighter could take part in the project Scott Adkins (Undisputed franchise). However, we have not yet received confirmation of this information. All foreign sources say that the Briton is negotiating his participation. Perhaps the filmmakers looked towards Adkins after they were unable to come to an agreement with Wesley Snipes, whom Stahelski wanted to see in the cast. Maybe Scott was offered a role that should have been played by an actor Bill Skarsgard, because According to rumors, he was also supposed to be in the project. In the end, the option remains in which the famous Boyka will play a small role as one of the endless assassins opposing John Wick played by Keanu Reeves. True, we would like Scott to be allowed to develop both in an acting and in a fighting sense.
Let us remind you that in addition to Reeves, Ian and Sanada are signed to the project Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix trilogy), Shamir Anderson (“Time for Vengeance”) and Japanese singer Rina Sawayama (TV series “Turn it up, Charlie!”).
The film is worth waiting for at the box office 27 May 2022 years, but we feel that news about the cast of the project is still to be expected.
Cast news also appears on another project we are expecting - a new action movie from Gareth Evans (dulogy “Raid”). We already wrote that the main role in the film will be played by a Hollywood star Tom Hardy (the “Venom” duology), whose company will be Forest Whitaker ("The Last King of Scotland")
In the Evans project "Devastation" other names also appeared. For example, the main caste included Timothy Olyphant (“Fargo”, “Die Hard 4.0”), Jessie Mei Li (TV series “Blood and Bone”), Malaysian beauty Yeo Yannian ("Lee Chong Wei: Rise of a Legend") Luis Guzman ("Carlito's Way"), as well as a Singaporean actor and stuntman Sunny Pan (“Raid: Bullet in the Head”) and a female UFC fighter Michelle Waterson (TV series “Night Shift”).
Let us remind you that the plot of the film will revolve around a policeman who is forced in difficult circumstances to save the son of an important politician from criminal captivity.
Judging by the last two names in the updated cast list, the film is definitely worth waiting for hand-to-hand scenes. In the meantime, we are keeping our finger on the pulse, waiting for the trailer and believing that Netflix will release the film no later than the first half of 2022.
And if you suddenly don’t know who she is Michelle Waterson, then this video will tell you about it.
Let's finish today's news selection with new projects of the Hollywood actress Charlize Theron (“Eon Flux”, “Mad Max: Fury Road”, “Atomic Blonde”), which over the past few years has become strongly associated with the action genre.
According to the news resource Variety, which refers to the actress herself, Netflix is going to make a sequel to last year's fantastic action movie "Immortal Guard". Theron said that the script has already been written and accepted, and filming itself will start in the first ten days of 2022, so that by the end of the same year the film will already appear on a well-known platform.
Will be in the director's chair again Gina Prince-Bythewood, and from the original cast they will transfer to the second film Marwan Kenzari ("Aladdin") and Luca Marinelli ("Great Beauty") It is curious that Charlize did not mention the name of the Vietnamese actress Veronica Ngo (“Fury”), on which, as you remember, the intrigue of the sequel rested. We would like Ngo to remain in the project and become the main antagonist, because... We know very well that Veronica looks great in action scenes.
Also, foreign sources all say that Charlize Theron will get its own spin-off franchise "Fast and the Furious" by example "Hobbs and Shaw". The film will tell the story of her character, nicknamed Cypher. They say he himself Vin Diesel is actively looking for screenwriters for this film, of which he himself will be the producer.
Recall that Theron's character appeared in "Fast & Furious 8" (2017), becoming the main villain not only of this film, but also ninth part hurricane franchise.
We think that such a spin-off will be very interesting, since Charlize has something to show in this action series. What do you think?
Also, don't forget about the sequel. "Atomic Blonde", which is also being developed for Netflix. True, there has been no news on this matter for a long time.
