From The Fall Guy to his early imprint on John Wick, David Leitch keeps resetting the action meter. Which weekend did he just claim for a star-stacked bank heist with Nicholas Hoult and Zoë Kravitz?

Ex-stuntman turned director David Leitch is lining up his next action punch with How to Rob a Bank, starring Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz and Pete Davidson. The story follows a crew that weaponizes social media, headed for U.S. cinemas on September 4, 2026, then France on September 9. Slotted for Labor Day stateside, it lands as Hoult trains for Lex Luthor and readies Tom Ford’s Cry to Heaven with Adele and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

A new heist story from an action cinema master

It’s no exaggeration to say that David Leitch has left an indelible mark on action cinema. Be it the bone-crunching precision of John Wick or the heart-racing thrills of The Fall Guy, his work has consistently wowed audiences. And now, we finally have a release date for his next big cine-adventure: the highly anticipated How to Rob a Bank is set to premiere on September 4, 2026, in the United States, with French audiences getting their turn on September 9, 2026.

How to Rob a Bank: a social media-fueled heist

At the core of How to Rob a Bank is an intriguing story blending high-stakes crime and online notoriety. The film follows a team of bank robbers whose cunning use of social media attracts not only fans but also the relentless attention of law enforcement. Behind the lens, Leitch seems ready to deliver his signature mix of gripping action and dark humor. But let’s not overlook the impressive cast: Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, and Pete Davidson lead the lineup, supported by Anna Sawai, Christian Slater, and the always-charismatic John C. Reilly. The film was shot in Pittsburgh and wrapped in June 2025, giving audiences a year to speculate on the surprises Leitch has packed into this fresh take on the heist genre.

A reunion for Nicholas Hoult and Zoë Kravitz

This project also brings together two stars with a shared history. Nicholas Hoult and Zoë Kravitz have proven their chemistry in past blockbusters like Mad Max: Fury Road and X-Men: First Class. Their reunion in How to Rob a Bank is reason enough to get excited. Hoult, in particular, seems to be on a roll: while preparing for this role, he’s also juggling preparations for another big project, stepping into the shoes of Lex Luthor in the upcoming Superman sequel.

With his dynamic range, Hoult has become one of Hollywood’s most versatile actors, and 2026 is shaping up to be a major year for him. In addition to his villainous turn in the DC universe, he’s also set to appear in Tom Ford’s historical drama Cry to Heaven, sharing the screen with Adele and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Momentum is clearly on his side.

What’s next for Leitch?

David Leitch isn’t one to rest on his laurels. While How to Rob a Bank is still in post-production, whispers about his future projects are already making waves. Could Jason Statham and Leitch be reuniting for a meta-action film? Or is there truth to the rumors of his involvement in a new chapter of the Ocean’s franchise? Time will tell, but for now, fans are eager to see how Leitch redefines the heist movie in his latest venture. Given his track record, expectations are sky-high.

As we look ahead to the film’s strategic launch over Labor Day weekend, one thing is clear: whether you’re drawn in by its stellar cast, its intriguing premise, or Leitch’s reputation for jaw-dropping sequences, How to Rob a Bank is set to be a must-watch. Time to gear up for 2026, it’s going to be an action-packed ride.
