Martial arts action stars Scott Adkins (John Wick: Chapter 4) and Marko Zaror (Diablo) are teaming up once again for Brutal Justice (aka Brutal), an upcoming action thriller directed by longtime Zaror collaborator Ernesto Díaz Espinoza.
The project reunites the trio following their work on the 2025 action thriller Diablo, which featured Adkins and Zaror on opposite sides of a brutal cat-and-mouse showdown. With Espinoza returning behind the camera, fans can look forward to another collaboration rooted in hard-hitting martial arts action.
Zaror has served as fight choreographer on his previous films with Espinoza, making him a likely candidate to oversee the action sequences in Brutal Justice as well. However, official confirmation of his role on the new production has yet to be announced.
Plot details and additional casting information remain under wraps.
Brutal Justice marks the sixth collaboration between Espinoza and Zaror, following their previous films Kiltro (2006), Mirageman (2007), Mandrill (2009), Redeemer (2014), The Fist of the Condor (2023), and Diablo (2025). Their long-running partnership has helped establish Zaror as one of the most recognizable martial arts action stars to emerge from Chile.
The project also reunites Adkins and Zaror, whose memorable rivalry in Undisputed III: Redemption remains a fan favorite among martial arts movie enthusiasts. The two later crossed paths again in Savage Dog (2017) before sharing the screen in John Wick: Chapter 4 and Diablo.
Currently in post-production, Brutal Justice is shaping up to be another promising entry for fans of contemporary martial arts cinema.
