            When I had first read about Dylan O’Brien leading another potential franchise following The Maze Runner, I was worried. The kid has talent but after seeing the first trailer for American Assassin, I can say I was pleasantly surprised, so much so that I’m now incredibly pumped to see the movie.

            American Assassin follows a CIA black ops recruit Mitch Rapp, who has led 15 novels, trying to get revenge and “kill the bad guys” after terrorists kill his girlfriend. The trailer showcases the characters training and team up with Michael Keaton’s character. The tone seems pretty spot on and looks to be the start of a really solid new action franchise.

            Check out the trailer for American Assassin below! The movie stars Dylan O’Brien, Michael Keaton, Sanaa Lathan, Shiva Negar and Taylor Kitsch. American Assassin opens in theaters on September 15^th. What’d you guys think of the trailer? How many movies do you think Dylan O’Brien will play the iconic Mitch Rapp character?
