Killa Harkan was a long time coming for Scott Adkins. The veteran action movie star had wanted to be a part of the John Wick series ever since he saw the first film rebirth Keanu Reeves and completely reset the balance of action cinema in Hollywood. Only it took a decade and until the fourth movie for the star of cult action flicks such as Accident Man, Avengement, and Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning to get the call he had been waiting for.
But there was one catch, the supremely athletic Adkins – who looks as if Batman grew up in Birmingham – would have to wear a fat-suit. However, that did not phase the Midlander who doesn’t possess an ounce of testosterone-induced ego: “I do see myself as a character actor. I’m a character actor trapped in an action star’s body… I’m a pretty immature down to Earth guy and I don’t mind making fun of myself.”
