Iko Uwais

Action comedy Stuber already boasts the muscles (and laugh-grabbing power) of Dave Bautista and the funny talents of Kumail Nanjiani. It's upping the action quotient even further the addition of The Raid's Iko Uwais.

Tripper Clancy wrote the original script on spec and Fox bought it in 2016, setting it up with Michael Dowse to direct. Bautista will play a tough-as-nails detective who commandeers an Uber vehicle driven by the unsuspecting Nanjiani and the stage is set for a night of madness and mayhem.

Uwais' character has yet to be revealed, but he could be the villain for the new movie and we'd guess he'll have a hand in bringing some of the fight scenes to life given his experience as a clash choreographer. He's most recently worked on Mile 22 (due out on 10 August), and Triple Threat.
