Where do we buy our ticket to this Bullet Train?
Fans are going to want to buckle in for the first trailer of Brad Pitt's latest film Bullet Train, released Wednesday, Mar. 2. The preview shows the actor in full costume as the assassin Ladybug, who is tasked with stealing a suitcase.
The only problem is that he's not the only blood-thirsty hired hand going after the prized possession. Assassins have essentially taken over the train, making Ladybug's job—and his desire to avoid violence—a lot harder.
In one intense preview, Brad dukes it out with singer-turned-actor Benito A Martínez Ocasio, a.k.a. Bad Bunny. As a Spanish version of the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive" plays in the background, Brad and Benito punch, stab and tackle each other across the train car, somehow managing to make it look effortless and, dare we say, graceful?
But that's not all. The action-packed trailer also reveals this train ride includes a sword show and beverage service. Talk about all-inclusive!
If that doesn't sell you on the premise of the film, maybe Sony's description will: "An original movie event, Bullet Train is a fun, delirious action-thriller from the director of Deadpool 2, David Leitch," according to the studio. "Brad Pitt headlines an ensemble cast of eclectic, diverse assassins—all with connected yet conflicting objectives—set against the backdrop of a non-stop ride through modern-day Japan."
In addition to Brad and Benito, Bullet Train stars Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Zazie Beetz, Logan Lerman and Sandra Bullock. Though Sandra isn't fully shown in the trailer, she plays Ladybug's boss Maria Beetle, who gives him the order to board the train.
Lady Gaga was previously in talks to appear in the film but dropped out.
So when can fans hitch a ride on this Bullet Train? The movie premieres in theaters nationwide on July 15.
