Pixar's Turning Red was a "love letter to Toronto" and The Bob's Burgers Movie was made in spite of the city's traffic, but what if there was a movie where somebody was just from there?

Netflix has dared to ask the question with the latest addition to the 2022 Toronto film canon: The Man from Toronto hits our screens on June 24, and today, the streamer has shared the official trailer for the film starring Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson.

Directed by Patrick Hughes, the brains behind the Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson-helmed The Hitman's Bodyguard and The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, it's the streamer's latest colossal-budgeted, odd-couple action-comedy, bursting with star power and CGI-based physical comedy.

The premise is that a screw-up sales consultant (Hart) accidentally ends up double-booked at an Airbnb with the world's deadliest assassin (Harrelson) — only known ominously as "the man from Toronto." For some reason, Hart's character then impersonates said murderous Torontonian (which seems to involve a lot of farting and puking) to help the FBI catch the real crook. But good luck, because Harrelson's character has a Southern drawl that makes him unmistakably just some guy and definitely not a man from Toronto!

Watch the trailer below.
