Glen Powell in Hit Man Trailer wearing sunglasses smiling and sitting at a diner booth
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Richard Linklater's new movie Hit Man stars Glen Powell as a fake assassin, and the trailer gives a glimpse of some of the aliases he uses to get close to his clients.
Adria Arjona's best performances have mostly come in TV shows so far. She has been a standout performer in Andor, Irma Vep, Good Omens and more. Hit Man will give her a shot as a star in a movie that should reach a big audience. Her character could be loosely based on a person who Gary Johnson mentions in the Texas Monthly article; a woman who had been speaking about getting someone to kill her boyfriend.
5 Boone Gary Johnson goes deep into character just like a trained actor Close The real Gary Johnson is described by other law enforcement officials as the Laurence Oliver of the field. He's a totally convincing actor who can make suspects believe that he is really a cold-blooded killer. The real-life Gary Johnson has had to deal with all sorts of different people in his line of work, and he has an alias perfectly suited to each and every one of them. In Skip Hollandsworth's article, he mentions that Johnson would greet clients who lived in Houston's most affluent neighborhoods as a sleek, skilled assassin who won't take anything less than six figures for his services.
This type of assassin is similar to any number of SPECTRE agents who hunt James Bond down in the franchise Cold War-era movies, but more modern iterations of the same archetype can be seen pursuing John Wick across the globe. This archetype is rooted in old Cold War propaganda which sought to depict the Soviets as cold and emotionless.
