Henry Golding is a hitman racing against a ticking clock in an exclusive Assassin Club clip. Golding stars in the upcoming action-thriller as Mason, an assassin who is given a final contract to kill six people around the world, who turn out to be equally skilled assassins similarly hired to kill him. Alongside Golding, Assassin Club features a star-studded cast with The Suicide Squad‘s Daniela Melchior, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan‘s Noomi Rapace, Jurassic World: Dominion‘s Sam Neill and Heroes‘ Jimmy-Jean Louis.
Screen Rant is proud to present an exclusive Assassin Club clip ahead of the film’s digital premiere.
The video, as seen above, sees Golding’s Mason having a tense conversation with Noomi Rapace’s fellow assassin, Falk, in which she taunts his epic final contract and the dangers of their profession. She also reveals her leverage against him in having kidnapped his girlfriend, Daniela Melchior’s Sophie, putting him in a race against time.
Assassin Club Kicks Off Golding’s Action Resurgence
Initially getting his start on screen with Malaysian productions and the BBC’s The Travel Show, Golding garnered worldwide recognition for his turn in the 2018 adaptations of the rom-com Crazy Rich Asians and crime thriller A Simple Favor. Though he would return to the former genre by reuniting with the latter’s director Paul Feig on Last Christmas, Golding would begin favoring more serious fare in 2019 with the likes of Monsoon and Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen.
This all would culminate in Golding’s biggest role with the G.I. Joe prequel movie Snake Eyes which, though he garnered rave reviews for his performance, was ultimately a box office bomb, potentially dashing sequel plans for the film. While Golding would return to smaller-scale projects with Netflix’s Jane Austen adaptation, Persuasion, his leading turn in Assassin Club will act as a resurgence for the star in the action field.
Outside of Assassin Club, Golding is starring in the long-gestating animated adaptation of the fantasy action-adventure novel The Tiger’s Apprentice, slated for a January 2024 release, as well as The Old Guard 2, Netflix’s Charlize Theron-led sequel, and is currently filming his second collaboration with Ritchie on The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura recently confirmed a new G.I. Joe movie is being actively developed, so it will be interesting to see if Golding will get another chance at Snake Eyes and continue making a name for himself in the action genre.
Assassin Club arrives on digital on May 16.
