On Tuesday, Netflix dropped the teaser trailer of notable director David Fincher's upcoming directorial The Killer. The film stars Michael Fassbender in the titular role. The film will be released in theatres on October 28 and Netflix on November 10.

The Killer is based on a graphic novel of the same name by Alexis Nolent and Luc Jacamon. The film's official description read, "After a fateful near-miss, an assassin battles his employers and himself on an international manhunt he insists isn't personal." 

Here is the teaser trailer 

The film has been adapted by Andrew Kevin Walker, who erstwhile collaborated with Fincher in Se7en and served as the script doctor for the cult classic film Fight Club. Walker also wrote the Oscar-winning The Wolfman and the 1999 film Sleepy Hollow, starring Johnny Depp.

With Fassbender in the lead, the cast also features Arliss Howard, Charles Parnell, Sophie Charlotte and Tilda Swinton.

David Fincher had last directed Mank, a black-and-white drama on the tumultuous scripting of Citizen Kane (2020). The film, also released on Netflix, earned 10 Academy Award nominations in 2021, winning two. Although Fincher had been working with Netflix almost exclusively for the past five years, he officially tied the knot with a four-year back in November 2020. Fincher has been involved with some of the biggest Netflix projects of the past decade, including Love Death & Robots (2019), House of Cards (2013-2018), and Mindhunter (2017-19).
