Jean-Claude Van Damme is The Gardener in trailer for French action-comedy

May 9, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its release this June, a poster and trailer have arrived online for the French action-comedy The Gardener.

Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as Leo, a mysterious gardener who acts as an unlikely saviour to his boss, a senior official to the Prime Minister, when he finds himself on a secret list of political enemies and his family become the target of a team of elite government hitmen.

Directed by David Charhon, sees Van Damme joined in the cast by Michaël Youn, Nawell Madani, Kaaris, Matthias Quiviger, Jérôme Le Banner, and Carla Poquin. Check out the trailer below…

Every year, the Prime Minister keeps a secret list of his political enemies to be removed. Serge Shuster, a senior official close to the presidency, finds himself named on the list — meaning he will be assassinated within 48 hours by a team of elite government hitmen. Condemned to a certain death, Serge, his wife, and his children only have one hope left: their strange gardener, Léo.
