'The Killer' has been in development since 2007, when it was announced Fincher would be helming an adaptation of the graphic novel series. But the film did not start production in earnest until last year. It was shot in Paris, New Orleans, Illinois, and the Dominican Republic.

Fincher is known for some great psychological thrillers like 'Se7en', 'Zodiac', 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo', 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', 'Fight Club', 'Gone Girl', and many more.

He last directed 2020's 'Mank', a Gary Oldman-starrer biographical film on the screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz. Amanda Seyfried, Lily Collins, Arliss Howard, Tom Pelphrey, Sam Troughton, Ferdinand Kingsley, Tuppence Middleton, Tom Burke, Joseph Cross, Jamie McShane, Toby Leonard Moore, Monika Gossman, and Charles Dance also starred in the acclaimed film.

'The Killer' star Fassbender has also been away from films for a while, and for a good reason. He last starred in 2019's superhero dud 'X-Men: Dark Phoenix'. He perhaps needed time away from acting to recover from the box office and the critical disaster that the film was.
