Netflix has released a teaser trailer for its upcoming action-thriller Kate giving us our first look at Mary Elizabeth Winstead in action as an assassin on a mission of bloody revenge.
In the film, “After she’s irreversibly poisoned, a ruthless criminal operative has less than 24 hours to exact revenge on her enemies and in the process forms an unexpected bond with the daughter of one of her past victims.”
When previously talking about her character, Winstead explained, “Kate is a ruthless assassin who is on a job in Tokyo, and she gets poisoned. She finds out she has 24 hours to live before the poison kills her, so she sets out on a mission to find out who poisoned her and kill them before she dies. Along the way, she forges this bond with this teenage girl named Ani (Miku Martineau), and they end up taking on this mission together. It’s a heartfelt, brutal, assassin story!”
The film was directed by Cedric Nicolas-Troyan (The Huntsman: Winter’s War) and it also stars Woody Harrelson, who plays Kate’s handler. The rest of the cast includes Tadanobu Asano, Michiel Huisman, and Jun Kunimura.
Netflix is set to release Kate in Fall 2021.
