Marked Men: Rule + Shaw (also known simply as Marked Men) is a 2025 American romantic drama film directed by Nick Cassavetes and written by Sharon Soboil. It is an adaptation of Jay Crownover's 2012 novel Rule, part of the Marked Men series. The film stars Chase Stokes as Rule Archer, a rebellious tattoo artist, and Sydney Taylor as Shaw Landon, a pre-med student from an affluent family. The supporting cast includes Alexander Ludwig, Ella Balinska, and Natalie Alyn Lind.
Despite being close for years through their families, hot-tempered tattoo artist Rule has always seen Shaw, a pre-med student from a wealthy background, as a friend, unaware of her long-time interest. They share a night of unexpected intimacy, which causes them to explore their true feelings.
Domestically, the film had a limited special engagement on January 22, 2025, though it did earn $1 million in total from limited releases across various foreign markets.
