Bullet Train's cast, plot, and more 

The Brad Pitt-led Bullet Train has been directed by Deadpool 2 director David Leitch. According to People.com, "the movie follows five assassins on a high-speed bullet train who realize their assigned targets are related." The film is reportedly based on the book Maria Beetle by Kōtarō Isaka and is a Japanese book. 

Apart from Brad Pitt and Bad Bunny, the film also stars Sandra Bullock, who will make her first-ever appearance alongside Pitt. In addition, Bullet Train features an ensemble cast that includes Joey King, Andrew Koji, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Zazie Beetz, Masi Oka, Michael Shannon, Lady Gaga, Logan Lerman, Hiroyuki Sanada and, Karen Fukuhara. 

While speaking to the Vulture back in March, a stunt coordinator named Greg Rementer mentioned that Pitt had done "95%" of all of his physical stunts in the film. The stunt master was all praises for Pitt and said, 

He's like a natural-born athlete. He really got in there! Never have I ever done so many huge actors in one feature where all of them excelled at the physical movement of our training. So Brad, Brian, Michael Shannon, Hiroyuki Sonada, Andrew Koji—who was already a stud in terms of where he comes from with the show Warrior—all these actors put out some great action and did a lot of their [own] stuff.
