A24 has unveiled the first trailer for How to Make a Killing, a darkly comic thriller led by Glen Powell and set to hit theaters on February 20, 2026.
Powell stars as Becket Redfellow, a working-class outsider who was cut off from his wealthy family long before he had the chance to inherit anything. After the death of his mother, he decides to claim the fortune he believes should have been his and devises a lethal plan to eliminate the relatives who stand between him and the estate. The film follows Becket’s increasingly brazen efforts to move up the family line, while navigating complicated relationships with a devoted girlfriend and a flirtatious figure from his past.
The cast also includes Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Bill Camp, Zach Woods, Topher Grace, and Ed Harris.
John Patton Ford, who earned acclaim for Emily the Criminal, writes and directs the feature. The story draws loose inspiration from the classic 1949 film Kind Hearts and Coronets.
How to Make a Killing opens in theaters nationwide on February 20, 2026.
