What is Marked Men: Rule & Shaw (2025) about?
One of the most popular traits of successful romance stories is the opposite nature or family situations of its lead pair. This film also follows the same trait and pairs a stoic and broody tattoo artist, Rule Archer, with a determined and career-conscious Shaw Landon.
The pre-medical student, Shaw, has harbored a crush on Rule for many years but never acted on it. In contrast to studying the human form or memorizing anatomy notes, Shaw can read through Rule's meticulously constructed façade, much to his dismay.
As they grow closer, the pair must decide if a potential romance is worth risking their friendship. They must also navigate through other differences to keep their relationship alive.
Here's the official synopsis of the film:
"Shaw, a pre-med student, has loved Rule, a rebellious tattoo artist, for years, though he’s only ever seen her as a family friend. After one uninhibited night, they’re forced to confront buried feelings while navigating grief, family expectations, and fear of commitment—testing whether love between two people from such different worlds can truly survive."
The film has a strong lead with Chase Stokes and Sydney Taylor. Stokes is known for playing John B Routledge in the Netflix teen drama series Outer Banks. Sydney is known for her role in the Disney+ series American Born Chinese as Amelia Taylorand. She also played Lexi Hamilton in the Prime Video Series Just Add Magic: Mystery City.
The supporting cast of the film has Alexander Ludwig, who people will remember from the Vikings series, and Ella Balinska.
