Digital Spy can reveal the exclusive trailer for Sky's upcoming revenge thriller Dead Shot, which you can check out above.

Formerly titled Borderland, the movie is led by Merlin's Colin Morgan and I May Destroy You's Aml Ameen, with an impressive supporting cast that contains Rogue One's Felicity Jones, Kingsman's Mark Strong and The Witcher: Blood Origin's Sophia Brown.

Dead Shot centres on retired Irish paramilitary Michael (Morgan) who, after he witnesses the fatal shooting of his pregnant wife by SAS officer Tempest (Ameen), takes his revenge to the streets of 1970s London.

The movie is written and directed by Tom and Charles Guard, based on a screenplay from Top Boy creator Ronan Bennett. It is produced by Chris Coen, Brian Coffey, Rebecca L Brown and Thorsten Schumacher.

Dead Shot will be available to watch in all Sky markets including the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The movie was originally announced in 2020 with John Boyega in Ameen's role and Jack Reynor in Morgan's role. "The best ones take time. Ronan wrote the first draft of Borderland in 2012 and here we are," said producer Chris Coen of Upper Street.

"[It] is a vengeance-fuelled chase movie, fusing some pulse-ticking action with a powerful message for our times," the Guard Brothers have previously teased of the movie.

Last month, it was announced that Ronan Bennett's new TV series The Day of the Jackal, based on Frederick Forsyth's 1971 novel of the same name, will star Eddie Redmayne in the central role of an assassin named the Jackal.

Dead Shot will be released on Sky Cinema on May 12.
