A reboot of the 1992 action movie Under Siege is in the works for HBO Max, and there are several action stars who would be great as new Casey Ryback.

a Under siege the reboot is in the works for HBO Max, and there are plenty of action stars that would be great candidates to anchor the film. Released in 1992, Under siege was the mainstream breakthrough for ’90s star Steven Seagal, and is revered today for bringing the Die hard formula to a battleship decor. Timo Tjahjanto would apparently direct the reboot, and while the new lead role hasn’t been cast yet, there are several big potential avenues for it.

The original Under siege followed Casey Ryback of Seagal, a former Navy Seal turned cook aboard the soon to be decommissioned battleship USS Missouri. However, one of the crew becomes a traitor and is revealed to be in cahoots with a group of mercenaries. Ryback is then forced to dust off his skills in order to thwart their plans to steal all of the ship’s nuclear warheads.

Under siege was pretty much an early ’90s action flick as pure as it gets. Tjahjanto is a skilled action director, but anyone chosen for the lead role should also have legitimate action credit on their resume. Here are some big action stars who could lead the Under siege to restart.

Keanu reeves


One of those candidates for Ryback would be Keanu Reeves. In addition to returning as Neo for Matrix resurrections, Reeves really showcased his action hero chops in the John wick movies, and the amount of training he has undergone for the franchise’s gun-fu and martial arts battles is legendary. Reeves would also make Ryback feel like an ordinary man, able to credibly hide his deadly skills.

Charlize theron

Casey Ryback’s name is also quite gender-neutral, so the frontman of the Under siege the reboot could easily be gender swapped, and Charlize Theron would make a wise choice for a female version of Ryback. Theron has also put on blood, sweat and tears for action movies like Mad Max: Fury Road and Atomic blonde. Theron’s performance and action scenes in Atomic blonde have been compared to John wick and both movies make her seem terribly underused in her Fast Furious appearances. With the tenacity she brought to the roles of Furiosa and Lorraine Broughton, Theron also has the talent to play as a Navy Seal who becomes the last hope of a battleship overtaken by terrorists.

Joe taslim


Reboot the Mortal Kombat of the Subzero Sword

With director Timo Tjahjanto coming from the Indonesian film industry, it wouldn’t be surprising if he chose to bring Indonesian stars he worked with on board, and Joe Taslim would make a great choice. Taslim was previously headlining in Tjahjanto’s Underworld martial arts film The night is coming for us, and the former judo champion is well known to action fans for his appearances in The raid: redemption and Fast & Furious 6. Taslim also gained greater recognition outside of Indonesia for his role in the martial arts series warrior and his interpretation of Sub-Zero in Mortal combat, who could potentially be followed by Noob Saibot. With the courage and physique that he constantly brings, Taslim would also make a strong leading man for the Under siege to restart.

Julie estelle

Going back to the idea of ​​the gender swap, Julie Estelle could also make a great female version of Casey Ryback for the reboot. Estelle is known for her portrayal of the evil Hammer Girl in Raid 2, and would later team up with Iko Uwais to Head shot, co-directed by Tjahjanto. Estelle would later steal the show as the mysterious operator in The night is coming for us, and his relative inexperience in martial arts prior to his action movie roles is the sort of thing it would take Google to believe. The Operator, who could lead a spinoff, mostly showed Estelle’s charisma as an action heroine in a heart-wrenching underworld war where bladed combat is the norm, traits she could easily retain as a new Casey Ryback. The Under siege There’s no shortage of great options for the reboot for who could lead it, but the picks of Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron, Joe Taslim, or Julie Estelle would be a great place to start.
