For this, we turn to an exclusive report from Variety that states Adkins‘s forthcoming role in the new film, Eliminators, which begins filming in London possibly this May, reuniting Adkins with filmmaker James Nunn following their work on the 2013 pound-for-pound revenge fight thriller, Green Street 3. The film joins Adkins with Dead Man Down (2013) co-star, professional wrestler and actor stage-named Wade Barrett in a story that will forces a U.S. federal agent out of a witness protection program to get his daughter to safety while taking on Europe’s most deadly assassin.
The film is just one of two for which WWE Studios announced its production/financing partnership behind UK-based company Richwater Films, the same studio behind hits such as Vendetta and its upcoming sequel starring Danny Dyer; The other film will be Rampage, which pits an American counterterrorism operative with an English MI5 agent in London to foil a terrorist plot. There’s no word yet on who will star while filming is said to begin next year.
This particular update is just one in a bunch of things WWE Studios has its hands in at the moment on top of mananging its own roster, the latest being The Marine 4 from director William Kaufman. Kaufman is currently on location in Bulgaria helming Jarhead: The Siege with Adkins, who is also poised to appear in the long-awaited zombie thriller, Re-Kill, and the Ariel Vromen-directed Criminal this August.
