If you enjoyed Ryan Reynolds flinging bullets, blades and barbs in Deadpool, you'll probably be happy to hear he's set to return to action for his next film, and will be trading quips with the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Salma Hayek, Elodie Yung and Gary Oldman in Hitman's Bodyguard.
Kick-Ass 2's Jeff Wadlow is gearing up to direct the film from Tom O'Connor's script, which is in the Midnight Run mould of opposites forced to work together to survive while all manner of bad guys look to stop them. In this case, Reynolds is the world's best protection agent who is less than pleased to discover that his latest client is a hitman (Jackson) who has decided to come in from the cold and deliver evidence about his former employers. They've been at odds and in each other's sights through the years, but now they have to stick together and make it to the Hague in 24 hours so Jackson can testify against a murderous Eastern European dictator (Oldman). Will it be easy? Of course not!
Wadlow will start the cameras rolling in London this April, and the production will make stops in Amsterdam and Sofia. Look out Europe... This could get messy.
