He's not a huge name, but I think that's what we want. The man can act, has intensity, and best of all he's a beast. I mean really, HE'S A BEAST. Everything I've seen him in he's delivered the goods, so he's waiting for an opportunity.
Check him out, He's BATMAN....

I would like him to get the part but he might have shot himself in the foot cuz he tweeted it and had to take it down cuz he should have kept it to him self but am glad to hear that WB listen to some fans and gave him a chance
shareCant act
shareThank God that some one else can see that. If he could act and with all his martial arts background he would be a star already.
shareYet I see the man has done more movies and headlined more movies than you ever will. So apparently the man has some kind of acting talent. Also I would rather watch him than Ben CantActLeck in Batman. So in comparison of the two, he does better than him in my opinion. Ben's had what 3 good hits in 20 years?
share"Yet I see the man has done more movies and headlined more movies than you ever will"
Comments like that are the true sign of a moron. I am not an actor so saying he is in more movies that me means less than nothing. All kinds of *beep* actors make movies so the fact that he makes movies has nothing to do with talent. He knows martial arts and that is all it takes for people like you to watch his horrible films.
On Ben has just been winning Oscars while writing, directing, and producing films so to compare their careers of abilities is just plain stupid and show you complete lack of critical thinking.
You can say the same about plenty of people, for example Jackie chan or Jason Statham, they can both fight, yet alot of people say they can't act for sh*t ... yet they are making millions from the movies and are very big names
Scott adkins can act, just needs the right role to set him off
Jason Statham can act. He became famous before he starting doing action movies and Jackie Chan is from a studio, a legendary studio of actors and artist. Both of them can act and are pretty good. To mention Adkins in the same paragraph as them is a insult to both of them.
Making millions or having a big name does not mean anything when it domes to ability and talent.....Kim Kardashian and so many others are proof of that. If Adkins could act he would have been a star by now. Instead a strait to DVD guy.
Jason Statham can act.
Statham is a very limited actor at best. Adkins is better than him. Adkins can actually do different accents. Statham couldn't do anything other than his own accent to save his life.
Your comments are based on nothing other than prejudice. Adkins has mostly stuck to direct to video movies because the best action film makers are working outside of the mainstream. In the mainstream, almost every director wants to do shaky cam and horrible editing. To see the best action in the English language, you have to watch some of the direct to video movies that come out and that's why Adkins has stuck there because he wants to put out quality action films rather than the shaky cam garbage of Hollywood.
If Adkins could act he would have been a star by now.
You're understanding of Hollywood works is so simplistic it's laughable. Many so called "stars" are crummy actors. Arnold Schwarzenegger has never been known as a good actor. Keanu Reeves has been an ongoing joke of how bad of an actor he is. And January Jones is universally considered a terrible actress yet she is on one of the top TV shows in the US and has been cast in major film roles.
Hollywood is largely about who you know and less about how much you know.
