John David Washington entered into his first major action role as the protagonist in Tenet last year. This year, he will reenter the world of action films as the lead in a new film called Beckett.
“While vacationing in Greece, American tourist Beckett becomes the target of a manhunt after a devastating accident,” the synopsis reads.
“Forced to run for his life and desperate to get across the country to the American embassy to clear his name, tensions escalate as the authorities close in, political unrest mounts, and Beckett falls even deeper into a dangerous web of conspiracy.”
Washington will be joined by a cast that includes Alicia Vikander, Boyd Holbrook, Vicky Krieps and Daphne Alexander. Behind the scenes, Ferdinando Cito Filomarino directed Beckett and Luca Guadagnino, Gabriele Moratti and Marco Morabito produced the film.
Beckett will debut on Netflix in August. Check out the full trailer below.
