Director David Leitch is building up the ensemble for action thriller Bullet Train, which has Brad Pitt on to star. The latest actor to board the movie is Brian Tyree Henry.

Joey King, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Andrew Koji are all already part of the ensemble, which is based on Kotaro Isaka's novel Maria Beetle. While the film's exact plot has yet to be specified, the story sees five assassins finding themselves on a fast-moving bullet train from Tokyo to Morioka with only a few stops in between. They discover their missions are linked to one another. The question becomes, who will make it off the train alive and what awaits them at the terminal station?

Zak Olkewicz is writing the script under Leitch's supervision, and Sony is looking to have the movie shooting soon.

Henry has been busy, with Netflix's The Woman In The Window, Godzilla Vs Kong and Marvel's Eternals all due next year.
