This weekend Brad Pitt and a bunch of assassins are about to take us on an exhilarating journey with the action thriller Bullet Train. What happens when you mix a high-speed Japanese train with assassins? We’re dying to find out. But, before you buckle up for the ride, here’s the assassin passenger list.
Ladybug
Brad Pitt takes on the role of a very skilled but ditzy former American hitman who has had a run of bad luck. His name is ironic because ladybugs are often seen as a symbol of luck. His next assignment is to retrieve a suitcase loaded with cash from a train, but little does he know that a deadly game with crazy assassins awaits him. Pitt did most of his stunts himself! Gotta love him for it.
The White Death
The White Death is a ruthless Russian crime lord and the main antagonist of the movie. He is now the new leader of the yakuza and is connected to almost every assassin on the train in some way or another. He is the personification of death and actor Michael Shannon embodies this role by rocking a head of white locks, playing on the name The White Death.
The Prince
Contrary to her name, The Prince is actually an assassin who has mastered the art of manipulation, disguising herself as an innocent schoolgirl. The Prince’s mission is to take revenge on her crime boss, The White Death. The talented Joey King takes on the role of this mysterious and super-smart character.
Lemon and Tangerine
Known as the “twins” on the train, Lemon and Tangerine are a pair of British assassins who are in possession of the suitcase that Ladybug needs to retrieve. Much like their names, they are opposites, since lemons are sour and tangerines are sweet. Tangerine (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) brings the muscle, while Lemon (Brian Tyree Henry) brings the soul. Together this duo brings cool punches and even cooler punchlines to the Bullet Train.
The Father
Yuichi Kimura aka The Father is a yakuza member and boards the train with one mission in mind: hunt down his son’s killer. He is the only character on the train who isn’t a trained assassin, but has lethal moves and can kick butt either way. Andrew Koji effortlessly takes on this role.
The Elder
Hiroyuki Sanada takes on the role of The Elder, a former yakuza member and the father of Yuichi. He boards the train to help his son on his mission. He has killer samurai sword skills and blesses us with the best samurai sword scenes.
The Wolf
The Wolf is played by Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny. The Wolf is a Mexican hitman for a drug kingpin and is seeking revenge on the person responsible for his wife’s death. He is consumed with rage and is quite misunderstood. You don’t want to miss the epic fight scene between him and Ladybug.
The Bullet Train is boarding this Sunday at 20:30 on M-Net 101.
