Brad Pitt is at the center of one of 2022's most anticipated action movies, as Bullet Train has a great cast around him and a thrilling story. Despite Hollywood's continued reliance on known IP and familiar characters, Sony is hoping to launch another new movie franchise in 2022 after Uncharted. The movie pairs Brad Pitt with John Wick co-director David Leitch for a new high-speed action movie based on Kōtarō Isaka's novel instead of rebooting The Taking of Pelham 123 or other train-based films.

While Brad Pitt has been an A-list movie star in Hollywood for decades, David Leitch only broke onto the scene as a director in the last decade. He left John Wick behind to make another original assassin movie in Atomic Blonde before jumping to franchise blockbusters in Deadpool 2 and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. It was during Fox's Marvel movie that Leitch and Pitt first worked together, as Brad Pitt filmed a short cameo in Deadpool 2. They joined forces for Bullet Train in 2020, shortly after Leitch took over directing duties from Antonie Fuqua. Filming began later that year in the middle of COVID-19.
