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.<\/p>\n<p>How to Rob a Bank: a social media-fueled heist<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s not overlook the impressive cast: Nicholas Hoult, Zo\u00eb 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.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Nicholas Hoult is training to reprise his role as Lex Luthor in \u2018MAN OF TOMORROW\u2019. \ud83d\udcf7 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/euVdDgcEXk\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/euVdDgcEXk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 GoldenSeries (@series_golden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/series_golden\/status\/2020190213860098473?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">February 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A reunion for Nicholas Hoult and Zo\u00eb Kravitz<\/p>\n<p>This project also brings together two stars with a shared history.
