Adkins is popular among action film buffs around the world for his parts in the Accident Man and Undisputed films.

One of his most recent releases is the finale of the John Wick franchise, where he played the gold-toothed boss of a German mob.

The film also includes Alain Moussi as a figher who looks to avenge the murder of his brother and loves beating the baddies down.

Calling Adkins "an exceptional actor" and a "martial arts legend," Logothetis said that he is pleased and excited about collaborating with the John Wick 4 star.
