THEME SPECULATIONS FOR THE LAST MERCENARY:

The Last Mercenary is Netflix’s next big-budget TV show following their huge success with Narcos, so it could take on any theme under the sun! From drug lords to a rogue mercenary group or something completely different, you never know what Netflix has planned in store for viewers!

Is there a trailer or teaser for “The Last Mercenary”?

No, there is not. Netflix has been very tight-lipped about the upcoming series and has yet to release a trailer for The Last Mercenary, but given how popular their other TV shows are, it would be wise to expect one soon!

Will any of Van Damme’s old co-stars take on supporting roles?

Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil) and John Rhys-Davies (Indiana Jones) are two actors who could potentially appear as villains in this TV show if they were asked by Netflix – or even heroes. They both share at least one thing with Van Damme, which is an action movie background, so it would make sense that these three cross paths again. If Jean Claude gets injured on set, Milla Jovovich would be a great person to step in and do some of the stunt work for him.

Milla is pretty much up for anything!

John Rhys-Davies has portrayed many different types of roles throughout his career, but he does have an action movie background, too – so Netflix may try contacting them about their upcoming show, The Last Mercenary if they don’t already know who John can play. It could also be interesting casting Jean Claude as a villain… or even playing both sides!?

Is the movie based on a novel?

The Netflix TV series is based on the book “The Last Mercenary,” written by J. Robert Kennedy and published in 1989, which was in turn inspired by Jean-Claude Van Damme’s breakout film “Bloodsport.” The novel tells the story of a retired U.S. Army colonel who has become a lethal mercenary assassin after Vietnam War service – and how he must take one final job to protect his family from drug dealers before retiring for good.

Is “The Last Mercenary” worth watching?

We don’t know yet; it’s coming out on Netflix at the end of 2019! But if you’re a fan of Jean Claude Van Damme, then this is definitely worth checking out. The trailer looks awesome, and we can’t wait to see what happens next.

Who do some notable actors appear in “The Last Mercenary”?

Jean-Claude Van Damme plays John; Peter Appel (Ray Donovan) stars as Arnie Hammerstone, an American industrialist who hires mercenaries for his company’s global security needs; Kelly Overton (True Blood) portrays Catherine Catlin, the only woman in their elite group; Sasha Roiz (Gotham) stars as Victor Rayder, a military officer with special forces experience.

Who are the writers and directors of Netflix’s “The Last Mercenary”?

Oren Moverman (A Most Violent Year) wrote the screenplay, with Jean-Claude Van Damme serving as producer; John Stockwell (Blow) directed.
