Former UFC star Paige VanZant, who previously pulled out of Kickboxer: Retaliation (2018), has also signed on for Armageddon.

UPDATE: Martial arts star Scott Adkins (One More Shot) is set to join Alain Moussi in Kickboxer: Armageddon!

Adkins will play Cesare, a martial arts master who rules over a sadistic cult, the descendants of the REG (The Royal Elite Guard) of Burma. Cesare’s teaching philosophy involves learning through pain.

“Scott is an exceptional actor as well as a martial arts legend, and I am looking forward to working with him. I know our Kickboxer fan base cannot wait to see Scott and Alain in Kickboxer: Armageddon. From Undisputed to Accident Man, as well as The Bourne Ultimatum, Scott has impressed us all with his unique action style,” said director Dimitri Logothetis.

Despite previous reports, production is now set to start rolling this April in Biloxi, Mississippi.

UPDATE: The third and final installment has changed its title to Kickboxer: Armageddon. Director Dimitri Logothetis stated:

“I finished writing the third film about a month and a half ago, it’s called ‘Kickboxer: Armageddon’. If you like ‘Retaliation’, ‘Kickboxer: Armageddon’ will blow your mind. The kind of fight sequences that I have for this are going to take us to a totally different level. I have a oner planned that’s going to top the oner in Retaliation. It’s going to take us to a completely different level and we’re just excited and we’re just looking forward to having a lot of fun doing that.”

He also revealed that Mike Tyson (Ip Man 3), Ronaldinho and Christopher Lambert (Mortal Kombat) are all set to return alongside Alain Moussi. Other notable stars who may appear this time around are UFC legends George St-Pierre (who had a role in Kickboxer: Vengeance), Uriah Faber, and Cody Garbrandt. Soccer superstar Neymar (xXx: Return Of Xander Cage) and rap legend Snoop Dogg are also in talks to join the fun.
