In lieu of a new trailer, Sony Pictures has released a cool new Japanese poster for David Leitch's upcoming action-comedy Bullet Train, which stars 2x Academy Award-winner Brad Pitt in the lead role as an assassin named Ladybug.
The plot picks up during a time when Ladybug (Brad Pitt) is attempting to leave his killer lifestyle behind but ends up getting pulled back in at the last second by his handler Maria Beetle (Sandra Bullock). Tasked with a seemingly simple mission to retrieve a briefcase on a bullet train heading from Tokyo to Morioka, the easy task becomes extremely complicated when he must face off with a myriad of other assassins to secure the briefcase and make it off alive.
Joining Pitt are Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Bad Bunny, Zazie Beetz, Masi Oka, Logan Lerman, Karen Fukuhara, Pasha D. Lychnikoff, Miraj Grbić, and Sandra Bullock.
Bullet Train hits theaters in the United States on August 5!
