The production of the upcoming film, “Kickback V,” has been canceled following the passing of actor James Handy at the age of 81. The acclaimed actor, recognized for his roles in franchises such as Jumanji and Top Gun: Maverick, was scheduled to participate in the film, but the project will not move forward. Heidi Anderson-Swan, the screenwriter and producer, confirmed the cancellation, stating that the development of the film had encountered significant hurdles related to financial instability and pre-production complications.
According to reports, the death of the actor proved to be the decisive factor leading to the project’s termination.

He was immediately transported to a hospital, but medical personnel were unable to save him from his injuries.
The loss marks a definitive end to the actor’s involvement in this particular film endeavor. The cancellation signals a halt to what was anticipated to be his final major cinematic contribution. The industry has acknowledged the talent of the actor, whose career spanned several notable productions.
The news confirms that the culmination of the project, which was intended to be a late-career return, has been indefinitely postponed due to these circumstances.
