Brad Pitt’s Bullet Train movie gets an April 2022 release date. Pitt reportedly did 95% of his own stunts for the David Leitch-directed movie about a quintet of assassins who find themselves on the same fast-moving train and realize their missions are all interconnected. Based on a novel by Kōtarō Isaka, Bullet Train boasts a star-filled cast including Joey King, Andrew Koji, Brian Tyree Henry, Michael Shannon, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Hiroyuki Sanada, Benito A Martínez Ocasio and Sandra Bullock.

Columbia Pictures has now announced that Pitt and company’s Bullet Train will speed into theaters including IMAX and premium large formats on April 8, 2022. The release date puts the film in competition with Paramount’s Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and an unrevealed Universal event picture. Pitt himself has another movie coming out the week after, as The Lost City of D is set to hit theaters on April 15, 2022 with Bullock and Channing Tatum also in the cast.

Of course release schedules remain very fluid as the movie industry cranks back up its theatrical efforts after COVID, but as things look now April 2022 will very much be Pitt’s month. The star last graced the big screen in 2019’s science-fiction effort Ad Astra, which took in $135.4 million at the worldwide box office. 2019 also saw Pitt starring in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, which was an even bigger hit with $374 million in worldwide grosses. Pitt of course previously worked with Leitch in an incredibly brief and hilarious cameo in the director’s Deadpool 2. Bullet Train figures to be another stunt-heavy action affair for Leitch, joining his other previous credited directorial efforts Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw and Atomic Blonde, and his uncredited work on John Wick.
