Lionsgate debuted a new trailer for Dylan O’Brien’s upcoming “American Assassin” during its CinemaCon 2017 presentation in Las Vegas on Thursday.
Based on the novel of the same name by the late Vince Flynn, the film tells the origin story of Flynn’s long-running protagonist, counterterrorist operative Mitch Rapp (O’Brien). After losing his girlfriend in a terrorist attack, a devastated Mitch is recruited as an agent by the CIA, where he learns to thwart terror attacks and becomes involved in an effort to stop an attack that could ignite world war III.
In the trailer, we see Rapp (O’Brien) on a tropical vacation with his girlfriend when he proposes to her.
