Iko Uwais made a name for himself in The Raid: Redemption and The Raid 2. Considered to many as one of the best action film franchises ever, it made the martial artist/actor an international sensation, and he has appeared in projects like Expend4bles, Snake Eyes, Triple Threat, Stuber, Mile 22, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and more.

Scott Adkins is another prominent action star who has appeared in John Wick: Chapter 4, Ip Man 4, Doctor Strange, and more.

Who’s Directing?

The film is directed and written by Liam O’Donnell, who helmed the previous Skyline films: Skylines and Beyond Skyline. He has worked as a VFX artist in Iron Man 2 and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.

“Since we first met Iko Uwais, Matthew Chausse and I have been pushing to make a star vehicle for him like Warpath. Pairing him with the truly versatile action legend Scott Adkins, along with XYZ films, the company that started things off for us, has been a dream come true,” said Liam O’Donnell in a press release.

Joining Uwais and Adkins are Louis Mandylor, Randall J. Bacon and Yayan Ruhain.

The Raid fans will recognize Yayan Ruhain, who played Mad Dog in The Raid: Redemption and Prakoso in The Raid 2. He also appeared in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, and Liam O’Donnell’s Skylines.

The Producers

The film is produced by Matthew Chausse and Evangelo Kioussis. Chausse negotiated the rights deal on behalf of the filmmakers with Maxime Cottray from XYZ Films.
