EXCLUSIVE: Count John Wick: Chapter 4 actor Scott Adkins in on Joe Carnahan‘s movie RIP at Netflix.

RIP follows a team of Miami cops whose trust begins to fray when they discover millions in cash in a derelict stash house. As outside forces learn about the size of the seizure, everything is called into question — including who they can rely on. The Artists Equity production cast includes Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Sasha Calle and Teyana Taylor, Catalina Sandino Moreno and Nestor Carbonell.

Adkins, we hear will be playing the brother of Ben Affleck’s brother. Carnahan also wrote the movie.

Actors Equity is the the artist-led studio founded by Affleck and Damon. They’re producing in addition to Luciana Damon and Dani Bernfeld for Artists Equity. EPs are Michael Joe and Kevin Halloran for Artists Equity.

Adkins starred recently in the Dave Bautista Lionsgate action movie, Killer’s Game, and can also be seen in the Netflix action-comedy, Day Shift, opposite Jamie Foxx. He’s also starring in Accident Man: Hitman’s Holiday. Other feature credits include Kathryn Bigelow’s $132M-grossing Zero Dark Thirty, CBS Films’ American Assassin, Disney/Marvel Studios’ $678M grossing Doctor Strange, the comedic-spy thriller Grimsby for Paramount, and in Lionsgate’s $315M-grossing The Expendables 2.

In China, Adkins made a big splash opposite Donnie Yen in IP Man 4 which ultimately grossed $165M in the Middle Kingdom, more than Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ($20.5M). He also starred alongside Wu Jing in the Chinese action film, The Wolf Warrior, which grossed over $90M in China alone. 

The actor is repped by Gersh , BWH Agency (UK), Vault Entertainment, and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson & Christopher.
