It goes without saying that pretty much steals the show in every film (and possibly even every film?) he graces. But what about the countless big names that swoop in with each installment? It's too many to count, but each makes their presence known, especially in the critically acclaimed . At a whopping 2 hours and 49 minutes, watch out for standout supporting turns by martial artists Marko Zaror and Scott Adkins — the latter undergoing an outrageous transformation to make the extremely fit performer look extremely overweight as "Killa." John Wick: Chapter 4 wasn't the first time that Adkins and Zaror worked together — or the last. They co-starred in past cult classics like the Undisputed films, and their latest movie is out now.

'John Wick' Star Teases Long-Awaited Return of His Cult Classic Action Hero
Scott Adkins spoke to MovieWeb amid he release of his new action film 'Diablo' and dished about his cult classic 'Undisputed' films.
MovieWeb recently caught up with the action stars in separate interviews while they were promoting the fistfight-heavy Diablo, and they both weighed in on their John Wick experiences. Adkins addressed his potential future in the Wick universe as Killa — or otherwise.
"I suppose you could do in like in the old days, when before he was fat. That might be fun," Adkins told MovieWeb. "But I think that the John Wick franchise is madcap enough that I could probably get away with coming back as a completely different character. So, obviously, I wouldn't say no to that, but it's up to people that make those sort of decisions. Not me, of course."
Marko Zaror also looked back on his time with the John Wick crew, having nothing but positive things to say about the Chapter 4 shoot. And it sounds like nothing would stop him from returning for a future installment in the cinematic universe.
"That was a life-changing moment for me, you know, to be part of that and to be on set with [director Chad Stahelski] and his team, and with Keanu," Zaror told MovieWeb. "I'm so grateful to be part of that. And of course, you know, whatever they say, I'm ready, you know? I'm, like, all in. So, yeah man, it was a beautiful experience and learning process."
Following John Wick, Zaror can now be spotted in Diablo, directed by frequent collaborator Ernesto Díaz Espinoza. Zaror opened up about his longtime relationships with both Espinoza and Diablo co-star Adkins — while teasing the film they're all planning next:
"We are actually working on it. It's coming. But, yeah, Ernesto is writing it. We got a script. We're in that process, and we're very excited. So, yeah, I don't want to give you any spoilers or anything, but it's in the works. And, you know, Scott is an amazing human being, man. We really connected from the first time we worked together in Undisputed... He's just a passionate guy that loves martial arts and loves cinema.
And the same thing with Ernesto... we went to the same high school, we shared classes together, doing projects, dreaming about movies all the time. So it's like, we're three knuckleheads that love movies, you know, and doing this movie together, Diablo, was like just a pure joy and, you know, gratitude and just doing what we love to do. So, you know, of course we will love to work all the time together, you know? So now, we're kind of putting together this other story."
In the meantime, from Lionsgate, Diablo is now available on demand and digital.
