The Killer is a new David Fincher movie which is now on Netflix. Here’s everything we know about the movie, from release date and plot, to cast and trailer.

It’s been three years since David Fincher released a movie, with Mank being his last feature, which launched on Netflix at the tail-end of 2020.

We won’t have to wait too much longer for his next effort, however, as a new movie by the twisted auteur hits the streamer later this year.

So here’s everything we know about the new thriller that reunites him with Se7en scribe Andrew Kevin Walker and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button editor Kirk Baxter.

The Killer release date: When is it out?

The Killer premiered in select theaters on October 28, 2023. It streams on Netflix on November 10, 2023.

That announcement was made on ‘Save the Date’ day, when Netflix promotes its full slate of movies for the year.

The Killer cast: Who is in it?

The following are the stars of The Killer…

  • Michael Fassbender
  • Charles Parnell
  • Arliss Howard
  • Sophie Charlotte
  • Tilda Swinton
  • Monique Ganderton

Other cast members include Kerry O’Malley, Sala Baker, and Lacey Dover.

The Killer plot: What is it about?

Here’s the official Netflix synopsis for The Killer…

After a fateful near-miss an assassin battles his employers, and himself, on an international manhunt he insists isn’t personal. 

Fassbender plays the assassin in question, and Variety asked Ori Marmur – co-chief of the Netflix Original Studio Film Group – for more details about the movie: “It’s vintage Fincher, just from the title alone it’s right in the lane that you want to see him in,” says Marmur, before adding. “I don’t want to give too much away. I don’t want David to come in and kill me!”
