Agent 47: Rupert Friend likely to fill in the space for Paul Walker

Actor Rupert Friend is in talks to replace Paul Walker in Agent 47. The film will be directed by Aleksander Bach, which is penned by Kyle Ward, Skip Woods and Michael Finch. Agent 47 is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Hitman franchise. And, Paul’s unfortunate death has led the makers to look out for other options now.

Rupert Friend has done films like The Young Victoria, Steve, 5 Days of War and others in his career span. At present, the 32-year-old actor is filming for Meet Me in Montenegro. If the actor says ‘Yes’ to Agent 47 then it will be really interesting to see what new can he do with the character. The film will be distributed by 20th Century Fox.
