Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Keaton are some of the most prominent actors in the comic book movie sub-genre of action films, and both actors actually starred alongside Tom Holland for the Marvel Studios/Sony Pictures Spidey films.

With Keaton portraying Adrian Toomes's Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Jackson playing Talos pretending to be Nick Fury in Spider-Man: Far From Home, the stars share the MCU. Between Keaton's return as Batman in The Flash and Vulture in Morbius and Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury headlining Secret Invasion, the two don't seem ready to put away their capes anytime soon.

An upcoming action film brings both of the Spider-Man stars together for The Protégé, which lands in theaters just two months from now on August 20th. Lionsgate has just debuted two versions of motion posters for the movie, in which both actors play assassins.

You can check out both versions of the brand new motion poster here! Below, we've included the trailer and synopsis for the film as well! Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual spot!


 
Rescued as a child by the legendary assassin Moody (Samuel L. Jackson) and trained in the family business, Anna (Maggie Q) is the world’s most skilled contract killer. But when Moody – the man who was like a father to her and taught her everything she needs to know about trust and survival – is brutally killed, Anna vows revenge. As she becomes entangled with an enigmatic killer (Michael Keaton) whose attraction to her goes way beyond cat and mouse, their confrontation turns deadly and the loose ends of a life spent killing will weave themselves even tighter.


The Protégé hits theaters on August 20.

@thewanderer - Hopefully I did like her in MI3 and Priest. She can probably play Lady Shiva gone the line somewhere.

Weird to see a movie where assassins make it to an old age. Usually they are tied up loose ends well before that.

Looks pretty paint by numbers as a revenge flick. I'll catch it one day I'm sure but I'm not in a rush.

@bkmeijer - Man, it's been 2 years and they haven;t even started filming season 3 yet. They need to get a move on.

@inkniron - I have yet to start the second, but I do already want a third one. Read there is supposed to be a fourth season

@bkmeijer - I think they re upped for 2 more seasons. It's not one of those shows that can go on and on, so that'll probably be it if I had to guess.

@inkniron - yeah true. There's only so much story that can be told. That said, it would be better to know that its gonna have an ending and it doesn't keep on dragging

The plot sounds very basic, but I'm willing to give this a try because of Maggie Q and Keaton. Could be fun

Good for Maggie Q! She was great in Nikita. I've been wanting to see her in more prominent roles like that.

Damn it, I hit the link before I even read the title, expecting to see an official pic of Keaton in his new batsuit!

Maggie Q could be great as spiderwoman.
