Hitman has a new celebrity Elusive Target and it's none other than The Muscles From Brussels, Jean-Claude Van Damme. The '90s action movie icon will portray Max Valliant, a legendary former ICA operative taken out by his own agency after he was found doing deals with the wrong people. Presumed dead for years, he's back—and he's not happy.
I'm not a Hitman player myself, but I was a big JCVD fan back in the day: Films like Bloodsport, Cyborg, Kickboxer, Lionheart, Double Impact, and Universal Soldier (I don't care what anyone says, it was good) were staples of my younger years. Hard Target, notably directed by John Woo, arguably marked the end of his glory days, but it was as good a run as anyone's had, and more than enough to cement his place in the upper tiers of the action star pantheon.
