Writer-director John Patton Ford's thriller feature hits theaters Feb. 20, 2026. Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Zach Woods, Topher Grace, Bill Camp and Ed Harris round out the cast. How to Make a Killing is inspired by director Robert Hamer's 1949 British crime movie Kind Hearts and Coronets. The new film centers on Becket Redfellow (Powell), who has been cast aside by his phenomenally wealthy family and will go to any lengths necessary - including violence - to ensure his inheritance.

Powell can currently be seen in the Paramount action film The Running Man. "There's going to be a new title that we will probably be debuting here in the next few weeks," he said of his new project losing the Huntington moniker. "But the movie is fantastic, and John Patton Ford is a great filmmaker. I can't wait for people to see it."
