Watch Will Smith Fight Himself in the First Trailer for Gemini Man

The first trailer for Will Smith-starrer Gemini Man is here. Directed by Oscar-winner Ang Lee, it's the story of an ageing assassin named Henry Brogen, being chased by his younger clone named Junior who can predict every move of his. Smith played both 50-year-old and 23-year-old versions, with digital de-ageing technology — the kind used on Captain Marvel with Samuel L. Jackson — used for the latter role. In addition to Smith, the Gemini Man cast also includes Clive Owen (Children of Men), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (10 Cloverfield Lane), and Benedict Wong (Doctor Strange).

Set to a sombre cover of the Alphaville song “Forever Young” by Ursine Vulpine, the first Gemini Man trailer opens with a bike chase, as Junior's handler Clay Varris (Owen) asks him: “Tell me something. Why is it so hard for you to kill this man?” In response, Smith's character says: “He knew every move of mine before I made it. I'd have him right there, I'd take the shot, and he would be gone — like a ghost. Who is he?”

During a fist-fight, Henry and Junior realise they are the same person, which is then confirmed by Danny (Winstead), who says he's as good as him because “he is you”. Henry then conveys that fact to Junior: “Twenty-five years ago, they made you from me. They chose me because there's never been anybody like me. We have to end this right now.”
