Brad Pitt's Upcoming Action Movie Was Originally Much Different Says Co-Star
Bullet Train was originally much different, according to star Aaron Taylor-Johnson. The actor is best known for his roles across multiple comic book movies, including the titular character in Kick-Ass and its 2013 sequel, as well as Pietro Maximoff, a.k.a Quicksilver, in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Taylor-Johnson will also be making his debut as the renowned big-game hunter Sergei Kravinoff, a.k.a. Kraven the Hunter, in Sony's upcoming Spider-Man spinoff movie, and he has delivered some of his best performances outside of franchise fare, such as in Nocturnal Animals.
From director David Leitch and writer Zak Olkewicz, Bullet Train is an upcoming action-comedy starring Brad Pitt as an aging assassin who boards the titular locomotive in order to retrieve a briefcase. Based on the Japanese novel Maria Beetle by Kōtarō Isaka (which was published in English as Bullet Train), the film boasts an impressive supporting cast that includes Joey King, Brian Tyree Henry, Andrew Koji, Zazie Beetz, and Taylor-Johnson, who all play opposing assassins aboard the train. Based on the Bullet Train trailer, it appears to be a fun action flick designed to lure audiences out to theaters this summer, but according to one of its stars, that's not how it was originally conceived.
