While Milla Jovovich was announced quite early on as part of the cast, its interesting to see Tony Jaa kitted out in his role as The Hunter. He has taken up action roles previously in Hollywood films such as The Furious 7 and is a talented Muay Thai and martial artist who definitely holds his own in fighting roles. Seeing him take on beasts in a fantasy world will be interesting and definitely action packed.
Some fans are saying that Jaa’s outfit is looking pretty similar to theField Team Leaderfrom Monster Hunter World, as Anderson saidhe was taking characters from the games, this might give more insight to Jaa’s role or least his outfit inspiration.
