'Vikings' Star Ivan Kaye Completes the Stellar Cast of High-Profile Action Thriller 'Gunpowder Milkshake'
Summary: Kaye's character Yankee is likely to join the antagonist team of the film. With a height of 6'4" (1,93 m), dark curls, a strong build and ample experience with awe-inspiring parts in historical and action settings alike, Kaye is well-suited to pose a serious threat to the battle-hardened heroines of the story.
BERLIN, May 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Keshales-Papushado-directed action film about two female assassins who fight a male-dominated crime syndicate has finally completed the male team (led by Paul Giamatti) with another star from a hit series: Ivan Kaye, famous for his menacing presence and intense portrayal of King Aelle of Northumbria (the protagonist's arch-enemy and nemesis in 'Vikings'), is likely to join the antagonists and if so, he brings powerful support to the syndicate that threatens the battle-hardened heroines.
On Thursday, the actor himself has given his honorary social media promotion team TeamIvanKaye/Ivan Kaye Fans green light to share this information publicly and has posted a link to a news article on his official Facebook page "Ivan Kaye Fans".
With a height of 6'4" (1,93 m), dark curls, a strong build and ample experience with awe-inspiring parts in historical and action settings alike, Kaye is well-suited to pose a serious threat to the badass female fighters portrayed by actresses known for 'Game of Thrones' (Lena Headey), from the Marvel Universe (Karen Gillan, Angela Bassett) and from other cult enterprises of the fantasy, sci-fi and action genres.
As the film is described as having "bold humor" (Variety, 22 May 2019) and Ivan Kaye has experience playing gangsters who combine a menacing presence with comical qualities, his character Yankee could well be shaped along these lines. From photo posts that Kaye dropped on his social media on Tuesday hinting at a head cast being made for him, it is at least clear that his character will not stay undamaged throughout the story.
This brilliant casting choice for a supporting part serves to stress the film's promising prospect. It is going to be spectacular.
Ivan Kaye has a packed schedule this summer dividing his time between filming Amazon's series pilot for an adaptation of Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' in Croatia and 'Gunpowder Milkshake' in Germany.
Kaye returns to the action genre after a series of historical productions, most recently starring as Lord Scrope in David Michôd's much anticipated 'The King' that is expected to be released later this year. In 'Gunpowder Milkshake' he plays Yankee. He is represented by Denton Brierley.
