Based on Jay Bonansinga’s 1997 novel of the same name, The Killer’s Game follows a veteran assassin named Joe Flood (Bautista). After receiving a diagnosis of a life-threatening illness, Flood orders his own assassination to avoid the pain and suffering. However, upon realizing he was misdiagnosed, Flood must then fight off an army of assassins trying to collect the bounty.

Ice Cube is one of the most well-known performers in both the music and movie industries. Following multiple decades in the business, the “Today Was a Good Day” rapper will voice Superfly in the highly anticipated animated film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Meanwhile, 6-time WWE Champion Dave Bautista just seemingly wrapped up his MCU career with James Gunn’s wildly celebrated Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3. Up next, he reprises his role of Glossu Rabban in Dune: Part Two.
