Aug. 30 (UPI) — Arnold Schwarzenegger is the world’s most talented hitman with a target on his head in the first trailer for upcoming action-comedy, “Killing Gunther.”

The clip, released Tuesday, features Schwarzenegger as the boastful and eccentric Gunther who begins to rub fellow assassins the wrong way due to his behavior.

The group of assassins, including “Saturday Night Live” alum Bobby Moynihan as an explosives expert, team up to kill Gunther with mixed results.

“A group of eccentric assassins are fed up with Gunther, the world’s greatest hit-man and decide to kill him but their plan turns into a series of bungled encounters as Gunther seems to always be one step ahead,” reads the synopsis.

The film, presented as a documentary, marks the directorial debut of “SNL” alum Taran Killam who also stars alongside his wife Cobie Smulders, Paul Brittain, Kumail Nanjiani, Hannah Simone, Allison Tolman, Randall Park and Ryan Gaul. Killam also penned the script.

“Killing Gunther” will have a limited theatrical release starting Oct. 20.
