I don't care what people say but I hope I live to see the day Scott Atkins does Batman. If by any random act of Fate Scott sees this comment please, Scott, save Batman! He could do the best batman ever. yes, better than Michael Keaton (my personal favorite so far) and Christian Bale. Batman is supposed to be a frikin ninja for goodness sake. Scott is not only a formidable martial artist who can also do incredible stunts but the guy can really act. Just wanted to put that out there. I hope that guy climbs up high. I was really glad to see him in the Dr. Strange movie.

Scott, Wu, Johnny, Iko, Michael Jai, are some of my go to martial artists when I need a fix of bone breaking etc.
'The Rebel' was awesome (I learnt of vovinam from that, Michael is a walking contradiction of his size, Wu with a knife - Iko fighting against one and Scotts Boyka are all defining roles in MAs films.
I guess movie companies would rather pay (and get paid) someone famous pretending to know MAs than get someone who actually knows.

When people were considering Adkins for the bat there were people doubting his acting. I remember when i first watched undisputed i really thought that he was Russian in real life. Not just the accent but his body language too convinced me that he was russian in real life. Plus in the third film where he gets his knee broken he actually embodies the pain he went through practicing kicks with a broken knee. Goes on to show his acting. Just saying

If, there is no, any good and serious filmmaker - director. To bring them, all those martial arts in surface, to see them. On a good big movie, with a good story line. then guess what?
Always, there will be independent movies with low budget (North & South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia - New Zealand) to hire, then we go see them those martial arts actors in these kind not so good movies!

Ahahahhahha just had to watch this video because the local Indian papers are all running articles on how Vidyut Jammwal is being touted as one of the top 6th martial artist in the world by a leading US publication. Turns out it was this looper article. which itself does not state to be a top 6 list but merely a list of some ovelooked martial artists in film and entertainment.

Should've included:
- B. J. Allan (ex-member of Jackie Chan's team,
- Cynthia Rothrock (90s woman badassery,
- Yayan Ruhian AKA Mad Dog,
- Iko Uwais 'cause we really need more of him.
- Eric Jacobus, my fav stunt fighter Youtuber AKA Kratos 2018
Someone like Wu Jing already pretty popular especially in China as Wolf Warrior series totally booming there.

Its funny how you mention Wu Jing and others while still showcasing the awesome fighting skills of Scott Adkins. Albeit his brief part in Doctor Strange this martial artist really deserves his place in Hollywood above anyone else. His work ethic alone should be worth a part or fifteen and Im surprised Hollywood hasnt snapped him up fully.

All the people mentioned on this list are legit and accomplished martial artist except for the indian dude (who frankly I dont even know who he is) but looks like a cheap cheesy martial art knock off. I think it simply a disrespect to all others to mention him here.
