The assassins reminisce about people they have killed and how their own sins will eventually catch up to them. Moody is then seen being shot. Anna meets Rembrandt, played by Michael Keaton, who knows that she will come after them for the killing of Moody. Gun blazes and fight sequences are shown. Anna and Rembrandt have a combat battle in a house. The Protege release date is set for August 20, 2021. Check out the trailer below: 

The Protégé centers around Anna, an orphan child rescued by the legendary assassin Moody and trained in the family business. She becomes the world’s most skilled contract killer. One day, Moody is brutally killed. Anna vows to revenge the death of the man who was like a father to her and taught her everything she needs to know about trust and survival. She gets entangled with an enigmatic killer whose attraction to her goes way beyond cat and mouse. Their confrontation turns deadly and the loose ends of a life spent killing will weave themselves even tighter.
