Martin Scorsese & Leo DiCaprio’s New Movie Reportedly Delaying To 2023
Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio's highly-anticipated Western crime drama film Killers of the Flower Moon has reportedly been pushed back to 2023.

While Killers of the Flower Moon was initially set for a fall season release, it seems like that may no longer be the case.
