Emily Blunt as Liza Drake

As one of the highest-paid actresses in the world, odds are that you have seen some of Emily Blunt’s projects before. The Golden Globe-winning British actress first rose to prominence with her breakout role in The Devil Wears Prada alongside Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. Blunt plays single mom Liza Drake who gets embroiled in a racketeering scheme in Pain Hustlers.

In recent years, she’s starred in projects like A Quiet Place, The Girl on the Train, Mary Poppins Returns, Edge of Tomorrow, Jungle Cruise, and the 2023 hit, Oppenheimer. Next she will star opposite of Ryan Gosling in the 2024 movie The Fall Guy.

Chris Evans as Pete Brenner

Chris Evans is most famous for playing Steve Rogers/Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He passed his shield onto Anthony Mackie’s character Sam Wilson/Falcon in Avengers: Endgame and has since been experimenting with different roles in film and on television. His character in Pain Hustlers, Pete Brenner, is far less interested in morality as a sketchy pharmaceutical rep.

He starred in the Apple TV+ series Defending Jacob and Rian Johnson’s acclaimed movie Knives Out. He also voiced Buzz Lightyear in the Pixar film Lightyear and recently starred in another Netflix movie, The Gray Man. Next, he’ll return to reprise his role as Lucas Lee in the animated series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.
