As a passionate cinephile, I’ve long admired Scott Adkins for his unparalleled prowess in action movies, often finding him stealing the show – even in the German table scenes of “John Wick: Chapter 4” might have been the first time many viewers were introduced to his talents. This versatile actor and martial artist has a slew of thrilling projects lined up, one of which is joining forces with his “John Wick 4” comrade Marko Zaror for the action-packed thriller, “Diablo”. Adkins himself recently shared the film’s first glimpse, querying fans, “Are you ready for the best martial arts action film of 2025?!!”, to which any true movie enthusiast would eagerly respond with a resounding “yes!”.

However, my path becomes fraught with peril when I inadvertently abduct Elisa, the daughter of a formidable crime boss, Vicente. In retaliation, Vicente summons every criminal faction under his control to retrieve his precious daughter unharmed.
