2023 Has a Lot to Offer Action Movie Fans
Paramount / Netflix / Sony / Lionsgate
This year has had a lot to offer action movie fans. We’ve had smaller, somewhat lesser known action outings such as Plane with Gerard Butler and Mike Colter; Guy Richie’s The Covenant starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Dar Salim; and the martial arts action comedy Polite Society. Audiences have also been provided with epic, tentpole action projects such as Fast X, which finds Jason Momoa taking on villain duty; Netflix’s action sequel Extraction 2 with Chris Hemsworth; the return of Tom Cruise’s death-defying secret agent in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One; and the action movie masterclass that is John Wick: Chapter 4, which seemingly brings the saga of Keanu Reeves’ dog-loving hitman to an end.
And the year isn’t over yet, with King of Killers being joined by the likes of Denzel Washington in The Equalizer 3; Jason Statham, Sylvester Stallone and their crew of Expendables in Expend4bles; Michael Jai White’s spiritual sequel to Black Dynamite, Outlaw Johnny Black; and the sci-fi action thriller The Creator from director Gareth Edwards.
If that were not already enough, this year will also see the release of Freelance, Dune Part II, The Marvels, and more. In the meantime, be sure to check out King of Killers when it’s released in theaters, On Digital, and On Demand on September 1, 2023.
