It's a great cast, but it almost feels a shame that Dolph won't share the screen with half of them.

Nope. The fairly last-minute additions of Scott Adkins and Dermot Mulroney makes it clear that they were added purely to attain more financing and distribution, thus roles were created for them and added to the film. I highly doubt ny of these stars will share any screentime together. And regarding Dermot Mulroney? I'm calling it now... He'll be playing the CIA agent who's shouting most of his lines about "Finding the missing file" or how "the CIA trumps all other agencies, and this is now their case." Should be fun. :lol:

I figured as much as well. This one was shot so quickly with a few of the stars coming onboard when the film had basically finished shooting. It has a great cast, but let’s be honest, none of these stars are gonna share a scene together in the same shot.
