Sign in to your Collider account Gladiator Oscar winner Russell Crowe is the man for a big Hollywood occasion. Having been part of some of the biggest blockbusters of the last 30 years, Crowe's name is as reliable as many. Soon he will be back for a hotly anticipated fantasy reboot, as Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez in John Wick director Chad Stahelski's remake of the 1986 Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery-led Highlander. A stacked lineup for Highlander has been announced, including former Superman Henry Cavill, Dave Bautista (The Wrecking Crew), Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy), Jeremy Irons (Batman v Superman), Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond), and Marisa Abela (Industry). Rumors of Crowe getting back into the shape of his life for the movie weren't exactly true, as he took to social media to set the record straight, admitting that he'd already finished filming by the time photos of his physical transformation had been taken. Instead, this dramatic weight loss seems linked to his subsequent project, The Last Druid, a historical action drama film directed by William Eubank. But before Highlander and The Last Druid, one of Crowe's most recent releases is proving a quiet streaming hit. The Get Out, the 2026 Crowe-led crime drama directed by Derrick Borte (The Joneses), is currently one of the ten most-watched movies on Paramount+ in the U.S. Based on the 2010 novel Strip by Thomas Perry, the film follows Crowe's nightclub owner Manco as he gets caught up in a world of crime. Luke Evans, Teresa Palmer, Daniel Zovatto, and Aaron Paul also feature. COLLIDERInteractive Impact Action/Quizzes/Your Franchise Collider QuizWhat Action SeriesWould You Thrive In?8 Questions · 4 FranchisesFour franchises. Four completely different ideas of what a hero is: the professional with a code, the family that never leaves anyone behind, the man who does his own stunts, and the guy who simply refuses to go down. Only one of them runs on your particular brand of trouble. Eight questions will tell you which one you would survive.The Four Wick Fast Mission Die Hard Find Your Franchise Question 01PRESENCE 01How does a room know you've walked into it?Every action hero arrives differently. Some of them arrive before they arrive. ASomeone recognizes me, and the temperature in the room drops without a single word being said.BLoudly and warmly. I arrive with my people, and we're already laughing about something.CI'm the one who told everybody where to stand. I walked this room twice before anyone else arrived.DBy accident.

What does your fighting look like?Choreography is character. Yours says something about you. AEconomical and devastating. Trained technique, no wasted motion, finished before most people notice it started.BLoud, heavy and weirdly joyful. I'm not elegant, I hit like a truck, and I always have backup.CTo plan, until the plan breaks. Then I improvise at full sprint and refuse to stop moving.DBadly, honestly, and with a lot of swearing. I take more punishment than I deal and I still don't go down. ← BackPick one, then Next Next Question Question 03CREW 03Who is standing beside you when it starts?Some franchises are built on a team. Others are built on one person walking in alone. ANobody. I have contacts, favors and people who owe me, but when it begins I work alone.BEveryone. My people are the entire point, and I'd trade the whole mission for any one of them.CA small hand-picked team I trust completely, and I'd still take the worst part of the job myself.DA voice on the other end of a radio and a building full of people who don't know I exist. ← BackPick one, then Next Next Question Question 04PRESSURE 04It has gone badly wrong. What keeps you upright?Act two exists to find out what you're really made of. AFocus, commitment and sheer will. Grief is fuel if you point it in the right direction.BThe people counting on me.

I built a family out of people who had nowhere else, and I'll defend it with everything.CThe conviction that if I stop, people pay for it.

Everything after that was self-defense. ← BackPick one, then Next Next Question Question 08LEGEND 08When the credits roll, what do people say about you?Every franchise is really an argument about what makes someone worth watching. AThat I was a myth people warned each other about in whispers, and that they were right to.BThat I never left anyone behind, the door was always open, and there was always a place at the table.CThat I did the impossible part myself, every single time, and never asked anyone to risk it for me.DThat I was just a guy in the wrong place at the wrong time, who turned out to be very hard to stop. ← BackPick one, then Next Reveal My Franchise Casting Has Been CompletedYour Franchise Is Four action series. One of them is built around exactly the way you handle pressure, people, and a room that has just gone very quiet. Here is where you would survive the trilogy, and probably headline it. 2014-2023John WickJohn Wick to Chapter 4Reasonable to the line. Immovable past it. You are precision with a grudge. You don't posture, you don't escalate, and you don't warn anybody twice. That is exactly why the people who know you are so careful never to be the reason you start.Why You Would Thrive Here The Wick films run on discipline: an underworld with actual etiquette, a hero who honors every rule of it, and a world that unravels the instant someone breaks one against him. You share that quality. You are extraordinarily reasonable right up to the line, and then completely immovable past it. Focus, commitment and sheer will. You'd be the one carrying grief through three sequels and turning it into technique rather than noise. People wouldn't call you dangerous. They'd say your name quietly and let that do the work. The CodeNo Wasted MotionSay It Quietly 2001-2023Fast & FuriousThe Fast and the Furious to Fast XThe mission can wait. The barbecue cannot. You understand the thing the whole franchise is secretly about: the cars are spectacular, but the crew is the point. You collect people, you keep them, and you'd drive through a building for any one of them.Why You Would Thrive Here This series went from street racing to orbit without ever changing its real subject, because loyalty scales and plot doesn't have to. You have the same instinct. You build a family out of whoever turns up, and then you defend it past the point of reason. You'd thrive here because the franchise rewards exactly your strengths: warmth, nerve, an absolute refusal to leave anyone behind, and a relaxed relationship with physics. The mission can wait. The barbecue cannot. Found FamilyRide TogetherPhysics Optional 1996-2025Mission: ImpossibleMission: Impossible to The Final ReckoningYou have never once delegated the cliff. You over-prepare and then take the dangerous part yourself anyway. It looks like control, but it's really responsibility. You have never worked out how to ask somebody else to carry the risk.Why You Would Thrive Here This is the franchise of the plan that collapses on schedule: the team, the mask, the rooftop, and the one person sprinting flat out because sprinting is all that's left. You share that refusal to accept an outcome. Told the odds, you treat them as an administrative error. You'd thrive here because these films reward competence and loyalty in equal measure. The mission matters, but nobody on the team gets left on the wrong side of a door. Some people delegate the cliff. You have never once been that person. Over-PreparedOwn The RiskStill Running 1988-2013Die HardDie Hard to A Good Day to Die HardYou declined to be the person who let it happen. You are not the most trained person in the building, the best equipped, or the one anybody would have picked. You are simply the one still standing at the end, which turns out to be the only qualification that matters.Why You Would Thrive Here Die Hard invented the modern action hero by making him mortal: outnumbered, out-planned, battered, and extremely funny about it. You share that stubbornness. Adversity doesn't make you noble, it makes you sarcastic, and then it makes you unstoppable. You'd thrive here because these films reward improvisation and nerve over preparation, and you've never had the luxury of preparing anyway. You didn't want any of this. You just declined to be the person who let it happen.
