Daryl’s fight against L’Union felt like a scene straight out of the John Wick series

2025 is set to be a big year for Norman Reedus as his role in ballerina will be one of his biggest cinematic appearances in years. Considering how long Reedus has been around The walking deadthere should be no doubt about his abilities when it comes to integrating into the John Wick franchise, but if there were any concerns, Daryl Dixon I simply eliminated them. The spin-off’s second season revealed that L’Union is not the peaceful group Daryl thought they were, and the now-villainous faction attempted to kill him so they could perform their ceremony.

Luckily, Daryl was able to survive and thwart L’Union’s plans, resulting in an epic fight scene very similar to the type of fight seen in the series John Wick Films. The fast-paced, close-quarters brawl pitted Daryl against numerous L’Union soldiers, fighting and killing them one by one.

The majority of Daryl’s fight scene appeared to be shot in a single take

Without confirmation from the directors, it’s hard to say for sure how much of Daryl versus the Union soldiers was filmed in a single take, but the fight in it appeared to be largely an ongoing part of filming. In the indoor segment, Daryl competed against several soldiers at the same time, and The 90-second scene appears to consist almost entirely of a single shot. Although there may be cuts when he throws his knife at an enemy and when he’s attacked through a table, these are the kind of seamless transitions you’d expect John Wick film, which makes it extremely well executed.

Norman Reedus just provided a major update on the second season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, and I’m more excited than ever for the series’ return.

So if there were indeed small cuts, they were incredibly subtle. By choosing to film this way, the action felt much more compelling and refreshing, adding to the drama of Daryl’s fight for his life. Although it was clear he wasn’t going to die, the struggle to overcome these overwhelming odds was definitely exacerbated by the single-take technique. As a result, I hope Daryl Dixon And The walking dead They generally take this approach to their action sequences going forward, as it’s clearly one of the franchise’s best fight scenes in years.

Set in a post-apocalyptic France, the series follows Daryl Dixon as he navigates the complexities of a new landscape. Separated from his familiar world, Daryl faces unexpected challenges and forges new alliances as he faces the ongoing threats of a walker-infested reality.
