According to Variety, Man from Toronto has been given an early 2022 release as it will arrive in theatres on January 14 next year. The film revolves around a case of mistaken identity after the world’s deadliest assassin (Woody Harrelson) and a stranger, portrayed by Kevin Hart, run into each other at an Airbnb. Soon chaos follows as the assassin’s world comes crashing down on Hart.

Man from Toronto cast includes Ellen Barkin, Jasmine Mathews, Melanie Liburd, Pierson Fode, Lela Loren, Alejandro De Hoyos, and Tomohisa Yamashita. The movie will be directed by Patrick Hughes, who helmed the action-comedy The Hitman’s Bodyguard starring Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson. Robbie Fox has penned down the script, from a story by Fox and Jason Blumenthal.

Man from Toronto was set to begin filming in April 2020 in Atlanta but was shut down due to the COVID-19 outbreak in March. The shooting commenced in October 2020 and concluded in December 2020. Rob Hardy is the cinematographer on the project.

The movie was originally set to premiere on November 20, 2020. However, the date was shifted to September 17, 2021, due to the novel virus. Last month, it was taken off from the schedule. Now, it has been rescheduled to the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend in 2022.

Jason Blumenthal produced the film along with Todd Black and Steve Tisch, his partners at Escape Artists. The companies involved in financing the project are Columbia Pictures, Bron Creative, and Escape Artists. The movie will be distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing.
