Michael Fassbender as The Killer

In the 2023 Netflix original movie, Michael Fassbender takes on the role of “The Killer,” an enigmatic and disciplined professional assassin caught in the whirlwind of an international manhunt following a botched assignment. Known only by his professional moniker, “The Killer” harbors a penchant for classic sitcoms, borrowing his aliases from beloved television shows.

Fassbender, born on April 2, 1977, in Ireland, has earned acclaim for his emotionally charged performances. His breakout in the U.S. came with Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (2009). Fassbender’s diverse repertoire includes standout roles in X-Men: First Class (2011), Shame (2011), Prometheus (2012), and Steve Jobs (2015). Despite his on-screen intensity, Fassbender leads a notably private life, abstaining from social media platforms.

Tilda Swinton as The Expert

Tilda Swinton embodies “The Expert,” another assassin entangled in the narrative of The Killer. Known not by name but by her expertise in the field, Swinton’s character adds depth and intrigue to the storyline.

Born on November 5, 1960, in London, England, Swinton is recognized for her unique presence and versatility in acting. Her roles in Wes Anderson’s films such as Moonrise Kingdom (2012), The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), Isle of Dogs (2018), and The French Dispatch (2020) highlight her diverse talents. She gained widespread attention as the ice-cold White Witch in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005).
