Bullet Train Film Cast: Other Roles You've Seen the Actors Play

Based on the Japanese novel Maria Beetle by Kōtarō Isaka, Bullet Train is an upcoming action comedy starring an ensemble cast that includes Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock, and many others. As the title suggest, the movie takes place on a bullet train full of assassin, each of whom has a mission that they discover are secretly interconnected. Sony delayed the release of the film to this summer, making it one of the highly anticipated movies of the year.

One of the biggest draws of Bullet Train is certainly its large ensemble cast of talented actors. Before the movie releases on August 5, let's take a look at each of them and other roles you might have seen the actors play before.

Zazie Beetz

Zazie Beetz is a German-American actress who was cast as The Hornet in the upcoming Bullet Train movie. Beetz has previously appeared in many TV series, from Netflix's Easy to Amazon's animated series Invincible. However, the role that really might put her name out into the world was her character of Domino in Deadpool 2. Beetz has also starred in the critically successful sports drama High Flying Bird, which was entirely shot on iPhone 8 and, notably, opposite Joaquin Phoenix in Joker.

Brian Tyree Henry

Lemon - Bullet Train — Sony Pictures Releasing

Brian Tyree Henry has starred in all that there is: from TV series and major blockbusters to indie movies and theater productions. The roles that Henry is probably the most recognized for are as Miles Morales' father in the animated Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse and as the first openly gay MCU character Phastos in Eternals. He has also starred in Barry Jenkins' romantic drama If Beale Street Could Talk, about a woman who wants to clear her husband's name before their first child is born. We can't wait what he's going to do with his character Lemon in Bullet Train.

Logan Lerman

If you're one of those people mourning the Percy Jackson movie franchise and its lost potential as a young-adult series, you surely know who Logan Lerman is. Lerman played the lead role of the demigod son of Poseidon. There's a high possibility that even if you disowned the movies, you still completely adore Lerman as an actor. Other roles that you can probably see him play are in movies like The Three Musketeers and the coming-of-age drama The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, the latter in which he starred alongside Emma Watson. Bullet Train will introduce him as The Son.

Karen Fukuhara

Can we take a moment to properly appreciate Karen Fukuhara's acting in this segment? Some of you may know her as Kimiko Miyashiro in the Amazon Prime original series The Boys, where she offers an amazing portrayal of the mute character. Despite being a non-disabled actress, she understands the sign language beautifully and without saying a word, she manages to convey pure emotions through the screen. Besides Kimiko, Fukuhara is known for playing Katana in 2016's Suicide Squad. And if you already haven't, you might want to check out her drama movie Stray. In Bullet Train, Fukuhara's role is currently listed as Train Crew Member.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Starting as a six year-old in the industry has definitely helped Aaron Taylor-Johnson to make a name for himself. Marvel fans definitely know the English actor from playing Pietro Maximoff in the Avengers movie Age of Ultron. However, Taylor-Johnson's breakthrough performance took place way before then, in 2009 when he starred as John Lennon in the biopic Nowhere Boy. As for more recent recognizable roles he has starred in, he received the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals, where he played the psychopathic drifter. He has also appeared in the blockbuster spy epic Tenet alongside Robert Pattinson. In Bullet Train, we can expect him to appear as the character Tangerine.

Joey King

Joey King is only 22 years old, and she's already had a very impressive acting career. King gained recognition for the family adventure movie Ramona and Beezus in which she starred alongside Selena Gomez. Then, she managed to appear in diverse genres, from horrors like The Conjuring to comedy-dramas like Wish I Was Here to science-fiction movies like Independence Day: Resurgence. What put her on people's radar once again was her lead role in the coming-of-age Kissing Booth movie trilogy on Netflix. Bullet Train will introduce her to us as the character Prince.

Sandra Bullock

And now, for the two biggest stars that this movie has managed to snatch, one of whom is none other than Sandra Bullock. The actress was the highest-paid actress in the years of 2010 and 2014 and was also named as the one of TIME's 100 most influential people on Earth in 2010. Her breakthrough came with the action thriller Speed back in 1994, in which she starred alongside Keanu Reeves. From then on, there's a high probability that you'd know a handful of movies that she's starred in. From the cult classic comedy Miss Congeniality to the buddy cop comedy The Heat to the women-empowering Ocean's 8 and, most recently, The Lost City. Bullock is booked and busier than ever, and we can't wait to see her as Maria Beetle in the upcoming Bullet Train.

Brad Pitt

Last but not least, we have the other biggest star, Brad Pitt, who's going to play the lead role of Ladybug. There's probably hundreds of movies that we can mention from Pitt's filmography, and there's a guarantee that some of them might be your favorite movies of all time. You might prefer his 90s movies such as Thelma & Louise, Interview With the Vampire, Se7en, or Fight Club. Or you might enjoy more his 2010s movies, from Ocean's Eleven to Mr. & Mrs. Smith to Inglorious Basterds and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. In an interview with Empire, Bullet Train director David Leitch says Pitt's character, Ladybug, finds himself going through an existential crisis.
