Chris Hemsworth isn’t the only one throwing punches in Tyler Rake 2. In his new mission – to get the martyred family of a Georgian gangster out of prison – the mercenary is assisted by his lifelong partner, Nick Khan, played by Golshifteh Farahan. The Franco-Iranian actor was already in his first opus, but he did not have the opportunity to show his talent in action scenes.
He makes a special impression in two scenes, the scene on the train that ends the 21-minute shot in a completely insane way, and the other on the glass roof several tens of meters above the ground. During an interview with AlloCiné, the actor made a surprising revelation about the possible evolution of his character.
AlloCiné: Tyler Rake is becoming a true franchise for Netflix. Are you ready for a Nick solo movie and what can we imagine for him?
Golshifteh Farahan : Yes, there is speculation from Netflix for a spin-off, a prequel. For the Nick Khan story. Because he loves it so much. People will love to know who he is, where he comes from, or what his story is. There is a script that already exists for him and we’ll see. Because he is a very interesting character. We don’t have that kind of character. In fact, women like her are always the “love interest.”
They are again a possible love story for the movie star. But there they are friends, they are friends and they are very loyal to each other. They are ready to die for each other. We don’t have women like that in action movies. There’s always a romantic connection and all that. And so I think he’s a really, really interesting character and I hope we get to learn more about him.
Have you ever read this script?
Golshifteh Farahan : Yes. It’s good.
Is it under negotiation?
Golshifteh Farahan : Yes, they are thinking about something. Even before we shot Tyler Rake 2, they were already thinking about exploring Nick’s backstory. So it’s good.
And can we see you in other action movies?
Golshifteh Farahan : Yes, stuntmen think I can really be an action movie actor. Because I am very physical. I like physical work and my body is not so fragile. It means I am strong enough. Yes, I love doing action movies and I love doing anything. I like making Parisian independent films and I also like ultra action films like this one. Surfing between different worlds.
