Glen Powell as Gary Johnson smiling slightly in Hit Man
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A new trailer for Hit Man has arrived. The upcoming movie was written by Glen Powell and Richard Linklater , with Powell starring and Linklater directing. It focuses on a man who poses as a contract killer for police sting operations, and has both comedic and thriller elements. Other stars in the film include Adria Arjona, Retta, Austin Amelio, Mike Markoff, Molly Bernard, Morgana Shaw, and Evan Holtzman.
The scene then transitions to the protagonist, while sitting with his cat at home, saying “My name is Gary Johnson, and I’m a fake hit man.” The Hit Man trailer then shows Powell in multiple costumes as undercover personas, and sets up how Gary Johnson tries to navigate his secret life with his romantic escapades.
Perhaps the biggest highlight of this Hit Man trailer is the central performance from Powell. As Gary wears his various disguises, Powell adopts the persona evoked by said costume, allowing the actor to demonstrate his full chops. One moment, he might be slick and stylish, while the next, he is far more bumbling and awkward. This range in Gary’s character is an intriguing hook that has the potential for comedy and a great showcase of the star's talent.
