Someone get Daniel Bernhardt<\/a> (Nobody, Bloodsport II: The Next Kumite, Deathstalker) a smock because he\u2019s ready to join the cast of Painter, an upcoming action flick from 20th Century Studios<\/a>. The project marks the feature directorial debut of veteran stunt coordinator and second-unit director Garrett Warren. While we don\u2019t know who Bernhardt will play, he\u2019ll star alongside Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, Fallout, The Righteous Gemstones), Amber Midthunder (Prey, Novocaine, The Ice Road), and Florian Munteanu (Creed II, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Borderlands) in the new film.<\/p>\n

In Painter, Amber Midthunder stars as \u201ca young woman trained in combat from childhood who uses her skills to rescue her kidnapped father (Goggins), embarking on a perilous mission that tests her abilities to the limit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Garrett Warren directs Painter from a script by John Wick\u2018s Derek Kolstad. Meanwhile, James Cameron serves as an executive producer through Lightstorm Entertainment<\/a>, alongside Kolstad, Drew Simon, and Sam Speiser of FilmNation\u2019s Infrared Pictures, as well as Josh Adler via Circle M + P. J.R. Young will oversee the production, with filming taking place in Serbia.<\/p>\n

Daniel Bernhardt is no stranger to the action genre. In addition to starring in the Bloodsport franchise, he starred in the Deathstalker remake<\/a>, the upcoming post-apocalyptic action movie Afterburn, Nobody 2, Ballerina, and Extraction 2. You can catch him riding alongside John Cena in Apple, Mattel, and Skydance\u2019s upcoming Matchbox movie, too.<\/p>\n

Originally, Reacher star Alan Ritchson was set to star in Painter, but scheduling conflicts prevented him from being involved in the project. If you\u2019ve seen Daniel Trachtenberg\u2019s Prey, you\u2019ll know that Amber Midthunder is more than capable of throwing hands (or whatever else) in the face of danger. The thought of her playing a character with an axe to grind excites me, as she\u2019s no slouch when it comes to kicking ass and taking names.<\/p>\n

What do you think about Daniel Bernhardt joining the cast of Painter, with stars like Amber Midthunder, Walton Goggins, and Florian Munteanu to back him up? We\u2019re excited to learn more details about Painter as the project comes together. How about you?
