BRAWLER Enters the Final Round
Lock and load, action fans — it’s officially go-time. Brawler has wrapped post-production, and Scott Adkins’ gritty directorial debut is now roaring into its final stages before release. Adkins dropped the news himself on social media, and the announcement sent another jolt of momentum crashing through this hard-hitting project.
Make no mistake — this is a landmark moment. Adkins, one of the hardest-hitting names working in action cinema today, steps behind the camera for the very first time while still throwing down in front of it as the star. Fans have watched him battle through film after film for years, and now they get to see that same relentless drive channeled into his vision as a filmmaker. If Brawler hits with even half the ferocity of his on-screen career, audiences are walking into a knockout.
Backing the action is a script from Matt Venne, whose genre-hardened résumé — Acts of Vengeance and Dexter: Resurrection — promises writing as sharp and unforgiving as the film’s bruising premise. Stepping up to trade blows with Adkins on screen is an electrifying lineup: Lewis Tan (Mortal Kombat), Larry Lamb (The Hatton Garden Job), and Emily Bennett all join the card, loading it with high-stakes drama and bone-crunching action.
Action Star Lewis Tan Steps into the Fight
Lewis Tan steps into the ring as Cain Oakley, bringing serious screen presence and going toe-to-toe with Scott Adkins in a pairing built to electrify fight fans everywhere. Watching two of modern action cinema’s sharpest martial artists share the screen is one of this project’s biggest draws — and the anticipation is already landing hard.
A Hard-Hitting Cast
The firepower doesn’t stop there. Brawler reloads Scott Adkins’ arsenal of trusted heavy-hitters, with Lee Charles (One Shot), Mark Strange (Ip Man 4: The Finale), and Paul Sparkes (The Crown) leading the charge. They’re backed by a stacked squad — Jon Callaway, Phillip Ray Tommy, Rebecca Finch, Teddy Linard, Tom Leigh, Nik Goldman, Lee Shone, and Isaac Beechey — while Max Feeney suits up as the younger incarnation of Adkins’ character. Every bone-shattering beatdown is engineered by Adkins’ longtime fight maestro Tim Man (One Last Shot, Accident Man: Hitman’s Holiday), whose choreography promises to hit like a close-quarters explosion.
A Fighter with Everything to Lose
At the center of it all, Adkins also stars as a disgraced former MMA champion yanked back into a brutal criminal underworld the moment his past comes swinging for him. Armed with nothing but his fists, he tears through hitmen and dangerous gangs while going toe-to-toe with his own personal demons to protect the people he loves. It’s a premise built for Scott Adkins’ signature blend of raw physicality and emotional grit — now unleashed through his own directorial lens.
The Final Countdown
With post-production now locked, Brawler is one step closer to landing in front of audiences hungry for a new action icon’s story — both on screen and behind the camera. Action-Flix will be tracking every update as this one barrels toward release, so stay locked in: the fight is far from over.
