Glen Powell's Hit Man gets release date

Netflix, on Monday, announced that Glen Powell's upcoming film Hit Man will premiere on the platform on June 7. The film is helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Richard Linklater and is written by him, along with Powell. Adria Arjona also stars as the lead alongside Powell. 

Billed as an action comedy, Hit Man has a script based on the Texas Monthly magazine article by Skip Hollandsworth. The makers also released a short teaser that features Powell as the titular hitman. 

Hit Man tells the story of an undercover Houston police officer who disguised himself as a hitman to resolve some criminal offence. While committed to his duty, he encounters a woman who needs help. Circumstances force him to be at both ends of being a police officer and a hitman. 

Powell plays the role of the police officer/ hitman, while Adria Arjona essays the women he encounters. Hit Man also features Retta, Austin Amelio, and Molly Bernard in supporting roles.

Netflix is also giving the film a limited theatrical release on the same day as the digital premiere.
