Take Pitt’s Ladybug, seen in EW’s exclusive new photo from the film.
He’s the gun-shiest of all the gunslingers.
As Leitch puts it, “The Ladybug character is cursed, or he thinks he is.”
Now he’s a reformed assassin, thanks to his life coach.
Cut to Wolf’s surprise attack.
Without a gun, Ladybug turns the briefcase itself into his chief defensive weapon.
“The briefcase was what we had at that moment.
He would never want to let it go.
This is his mission.
And that’s just the opening action sequence.
“It’s just a big summer popcorn movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously.”
