‘The Killer’ Official Trailer: Michael Fassbender’s on the Hunt

The official trailer for Netflix’s The Killer begins with a man (played by Michael Fassbender) explaining that he listens to music to keep his mind from wandering, allowing him to remain focused on the job. The job that requires such intense concentration? Hired assassin.

“After a fateful near-miss, an assassin battles his employers, and himself, on an international manhunt he insists isn’t personal,” reads Netflix’s synopsis.

In addition to two-time Oscar nominee Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs, 12 Years a Slave), the R-rated thriller stars Charles Parnell (Barry), Arliss Howard (Manhunt), Sophie Charlotte (Todas as Flores), and Oscar winner Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton). The film’s based on writer Alexis Nolent (aka Matz) and illustrator Luc Jacamon’s graphic novel series, and was adapted by Andrew Kevin Walker (Se7en, 8MM).

Three-time Oscar nominee David Fincher (Mank, The Social Network, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) directed and Ceán Chaffin served as producer.

The Killer opened in theaters on October 27, 2023 and will be released on Netflix on November 10.
