One More Shot Cast & Character Guide

Summary One More Shot features a strong ensemble cast of familiar faces from the action genre.

The main cast of the movie includes action icons Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White, and Tom Berenger.

The supporting cast of the movie features a returning star and former stunt performer alongside quite a few newcomers.

The One More Shot cast contains a robust roster of fresh and familiar faces. The new movie, which premiered in theaters and via VOD in early 2024 before a streaming release on Netflix in May, is a sequel to the 2021 British action-thriller outing One Shot. Both movies were directed by James Nunn (Shark Bait, Tower Block, The Marine 5: Battleground, The Marine 6: Close Quarters) from a screenplay by Jamie Russell (Lock In, Bricks), though Nunn also has story credit on the pair. Other returning behind-the-scenes figures include producer Ben Jacques, composer Austin Wintory, and editor Liviu Jipescu.

The 2024 action movie is presented as a single, continuous take just like the previous installment in the franchise, though this high-concept presentation is achieved using digital manipulation and editing rather than actually filming the entire movie at once. This is the same technique that was used to bring other one-shot movies to life including 1917 and Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance). In spite of being presented more or less in real time, the movie features quite a few different characters played by both returning stars and newcomers alike, including several stalwarts of the action genre.
