MGM has just released a new red band trailer for its upcoming action-thriller,Wrath of Man. The trailer arrives with the first official clip of the film, offering a closer look atJason Statham’s “H,” the disturbingly adept sharpshooter introduced in thefirst trailer.
The new trailer is decidedly less cagey about H’s secret motives, opening with the murder of his son, explaining his desire to find the killers, and building to his plan to infiltrate an armored car company.Wrath of Manfinds Statham re-teaming with hisLock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, andSnatchdirectorGuy Ritchie. This project takes on a more serious tone than those prior collaborations, with Statham exuding all of the tough guy seriousness he’s come to be associated with in the intervening decades. Bringing Ritchie’s kinetic heist sensibilities to the mix should make for a fun twist.
