Production is already underway for Jesse Johnson’s entry next in Scott Adkins action film fandom Avengement, and both star and director have just featured the latest look at our protagonist in two new photos from the set. Judging by the overall look, costumes and hashtags, the new thriller sounds much like it’ll be in a prison/escape setting to foundate the plot, telling of Cain Burgess, a lowly criminal who sets out to his old stomping grounds to get even with the people who made him a cold-hearted killer.
Joined by actor Louis Mandylor, Johnson and Adkins are freshly coming off of recent ceremony over gangster buddy action dramedy, The Debt Collector, one in a continuing string of titles they’ve principally shared in the last several years including Savage Dog and graphic novel adaptation, Accident Man. Dan Styles and Luke LaFontaine are rejoining the action design efforts according to Johnson’s Instagram post with Adkins and retired Irish Heavyweight boxer Joe Egan.
Avengement is due in 2019, so stay tuned.
