10 Best Ian McShane Movies, Ranked

Recently appearing in blockbuster hits like John Wick: Chapter 4 and the animated film Kung Fu Panda 4, Ian McShane is perhaps one of the most recognizable faces in film and television. With a career that spans over six decades, McShane’s talent has been recognized by critics and viewers alike. In fact, he has been nominated for prestigious awards and has received a Gloden Globe Award for his portrayal of Al Swearengen in the TV Show Deadwood.

In the movie, McShane portrays a boxing promoter named Joe Padgett. While his role is supporting, McShane makes Joe the perfect, charismatic antagonist to Jimmy, showing his knack for playing characters with dubious morals. Sports movie fans will surely enjoy Jawbone for its valiant realism and moving protagonist. While it’s not a popular boxing movie, Jawbone deserves to be just as talked about among the best boxing movies like Southpaw and Creed.

In John Wick, McShane steals the scene as Winston, the owner of the infamous Continental Hotel, a supposed sacred and safe place for assassins. The film of the most memorable entries in his filmography, and McShane plays Winston with a unique mix of sinister charm to capture the hearts of viewers. Without Winston, John wouldn’t have been successful in seeking vengeance against those who wronged him.

Unlike his previous roles in more lighthearted films, Villain showed that McShane also had a flair for playing dramatic and intense characters. McShane voices the main antagonist in the movie, Tai Lung, a malevolent snow leopard who wants to bring chaos to the Valley of Peace. McShane’s booming and sinister voice brings a powerful and threatening presence to Tai Lung. While he’s been beaten by Po at the end of Kung Fu Panda, he returns to Kung Fu Panda 4 and acknowledges Po as the rightful Dragon Warrior. Tai Lunng is among the best characters in the Kung Fu Panda movies, and it's largely thanks to McShane's performance.
