Accident Man is a comic book movie that’s looking to capitalize on the ultraviolent R-rated cinematic floodgate that was lucratively busted open in 2016 by Deadpool.

The movie culls its concept from a surprisingly esoteric source in a story series written by Judge Dredd creator Pat Mills with Tony Skinner that was originally presented in Toxic!, a defunct UK-based anthology comic book series that published on a weekly basis back in 1991. The project is headlined by perennial action star Scott Adkins (Doctor Strange, The Expendables 2), who plays titular Accident Man Mike Fallon, a brash hitman specializing in making his victims’ fates look like accidents. However, Fallon becomes humbled by tragedy after his girlfriend Beth is killed. Consequently, he embarks on a violent quest for revenge.

Accident Man Trailer

Here’s the Den of Geek-exclusive Accident Man trailer from Sony Pictures. True to the hype, it’s a mirthful, meta-minded montage of madness that fans of the original UK comic and, of course, Deadpool, will love.

Accident Man Release Date

Accident Man will make a deceivingly accidental release to DVD, Blu-ray, and digital on February 6, 2018.
