Things have been ramping up in the Norris camp for a while now. After showing up in the second to last episode of Hawaii Five O (2020)- show action choreographed by his son Eric Norris he followed that up with voice work in a 90s style video game Crime Boss: Rockay City (2023) and then recently by playing a mentor role to Vanilla Ice‘s eponymous secret agent in an upcoming Australian action comedy Zombie Plane (2024).
Now, if that wasn’t enough now it’s reveled that he also stars in a movie by writer/ director & actor Derik Ting called Agent Rekon (2024). And here’s an official synopsis:
–Alastair (Norris), the commander of a covert Earth security task force, calls upon super-powered rookie Jim (Ting) to go on a mission led by battle-hardened Colonel Green (Singer) and his seasoned marines to track a mysterious energy disturbance at a base in New Mexico suspected of experimenting on alien technology. When the team encounters an unknown being of not only extraordinary strength and speed, but also the ability to control mindless warriors, the trio must fight through unstoppable hordes to uncover the truth behind the hostile alien fortress and prevent humanity’s demise.–
Not only does Agent Recon features Chuck Norris, he is also teaming up with another genre movie legend Mark Singer (Beastmaster, V, Cyberzone ). Considering how long both of them have been in a business it’s pretty strange they haven’t crossed paths ’till now.
Love the fact that Norris hit his classic Invasion USA pose!
Also, special treat is- all of his action scenes will be choreographed by his youngest son Dakota Norris in his I believe first movie. We haven’t seen too much Martial Arts from Norris in years, so I’m genuinely interested to see what he comes up with for his dad. And to his credit- Chuck still movies surprisingly well for his age!
-“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with our friends at Quiver on Agent Recon,” said Millennium’s JJ Nugent. “Chuck Norris is one of the world’s biggest action legends and we know that audiences will be just as excited as we are to see him back on the big screen for the first time since Expendables 2.”–
If somebody told me we’ll see this much (non- meme) Norris content in his 80s I wouldn’t have believed them for a second. But, the truth is stranger than fiction. Now, the only question is, where’s that Richard Norton collaboration that I’ve been waiting for for almost a decade?
