Tagline: A retired assassin comes back to battle the younger generation.

Everybody already loves Mads Mikkelsen, but the prospect of him playing a John Wick meets Leon-style assassin at the start of his retirement who is forced to fight off a pack of hungry young killers when his former employers mark him as a liability who must be dealt with.

It's based on a great graphic novel and it could well be this year's answer to the stylish super-violence championed by David Leitch. It's being directed by music video veteran Jonas Akerlund (who made the exceptional Lords Of Chaos) and it's definitely a contender for cult action hit of the year. And it's destined to make Mikkelsen even more cool.

Release: January 25th
