Since Everything Everywhere All at Once got here out and cleaned up throughout awards season, Ke Huy Quan’s been steadily rebuilding his profession after taking a 20-year performing break. Having already completed supporting roles in Disney+’s Loki and American Born Chinese language final 12 months, Quan’s subsequent venture may have him entrance and middle as first-time main man since his resurgence.
Earlier within the week, Deadline revealed the actor might be starring in Common’s upcoming motion movie, With Love. Whereas the plot is at present underneath wraps, the film’s positively acquired a whole lot of motion chops behind it. It hails from from manufacturing firm 87North, greatest identified for motion flicks just like the John Wick sequence, Violent Night, and this spring’s The Fall Guy. Its director, Jonathan Eusebio, might be making his directorial debut after working as a second unit director on the movies above, together with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Birds of Prey, and Black Panther. And it’s being penned by Luke Passmore, who co-created the story for 2020’s Archenemy and dealing off an preliminary script by Matt Murray and Warrior author Josh Stoddard.
87North’s made a strong profession out of growing action-thrillers starring actors who you both wouldn’t have predicted to hold an motion film (see: Bob Odenkirk in No one) or can carry stated film, they usually’ve acquired the star energy to make you see what all of the fuss is about (see: the studio’s remaining filmography). Quan’s had in depth motion experience all through his profession, himself having been an assistant director for combat choreography on the unique X-Males and the 2001 Jet Li movie, The One. Hopefully one thing enjoyable comes out of that mixed pedigree when With Love releases within the close to future.
