Scott Adkins: No UNDISPUTED 4, For Now.
I must disappoint you all and let you know that Undisputed 4 is not my next film but it is coming I promise!
— Scott Adkins (@TheScottAdkins) May 8, 2013
Martial arts action star Scott Adkins took to twitter on Wednesday to inform his fans in the tweet below about the fate of the since long-confirmed Undisputed 4, telling the public, “I must disappoint you all and let you know that Undisputed 4 is not my next film but it is coming I promise!”.
Also, there was a lot of twitter banter over the hopeful possibility of the two actors portraying Marvel characters Luke Cage and Iron Fist in a potential live-action film. In recent reports including an article from IGN, talk of the rights of several Marvel characters returning to their original brand, including Blade and Daredevil, have brewed the possibility for a live action film featuring the characters in a Heroes For Hire movie.
The two actors also starred in the direct-to-DVD sequel prison martial arts tournament film, Undisputed 2: Last Man Standing, the film that also made Adkins’ portrayal of the legendary Russian mixed martial arts kickboxing character, Yuri Boyka, a household name for many of his fans online, along the release of the third installment of Undisputed 3: Redemption. Both actors also starred in seperate installations of the Universal Soldier film franchise opposite legendary action star Jean-Claude Van Damme, with Adkins most recently featuring in director John Hyams‘s 2012 film festival headliner, Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning. So if anything, what today’s updates could also mean is a return of White’s character as S.E.T.H. from Universal Soldier: The Return. As always though, this is just speculation, so I will be certain to see if this is definitive in the long run.
With regard to other potential possibilities for what Scott’s aforementioned tweet could mean, martial arts actor, stunt perfomer and choreographer, director, and GSH:U co-star Joey Ansah previously stated his elation and excitement for Adkins to hopefully play the role of Guile in a potential future follow up to the upcoming webseries, Street Fighter: Assassins Fist, telling the press “I’ll tell fans now, if we succeed with Assassin’s Fist and move on to the World Warrior I can say now that I want Scott to be my Guile. Look at how Scott looks in Undisputed 2 and imagine that but with blonde hair and an American accent. He would make a killer Guile.”

"And if anything, what today's updates could also mean is a return of White's character as S.E.T.H. from Undisputed 2: The Return." Something got mixed up there xD
