How to Make a Killing: What Glen Powell’s New Movie Is About

In How to Make a Killing, Glen Powell plays Becket Redfellow, a man disowned by his obscenely wealthy family. He was cast out due to his mother’s fall from grace, growing impoverished, and carrying the belief that his wealth was stolen from him. 

So he devises a chilling plan to eliminate the seven Redfellow relatives that stand between him and his inheritance of billions of dollars. He stages each death as an accident, but obviously, things are far more complicated than he previously envisioned. 

When Will How to Make a Killing Release in Theaters?

How to Make a Killing is officially set to release in theaters in early 2026, positioning itself as one of the most anticipated dark comedies of the year. In the U.S.A, the movie will play on the silver screen by February 20, 2026. With a runtime of 105 minutes, the film is expected to be a fast-paced narrative.
