Rami Malek goes rogue in new action thriller ‘The Amateur’

Disney+ has announced the highly anticipated arrival of the action-packed movie, “The Amateur”, which follows an IT specialist for the CIA, Charlie Heller, who embarks on a journey of revenge after he lost his wife, who was killed in a London terrorist attack.

Heller is adamant about finding the people who were involved in the terrorist attack that killed his wife, as he travels the world in hopes of killing those responsible.

However, because violence or guns are not what he is used to, the grieving husband resorts to using his knowledge and intelligence of technology to seek vengeance.

“The Amateur” features a star-studded cast which includes Rami Malek, an Oscar-winning actor who starred in multiple popular movies such as “Bohemian Rhapsody” as well as “Mr Robot”. He plays the husband.

He has also won numerous accolades for his exceptional acting skills, including a Golden Globe award under the category of Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in “Bohemian Rhapsody” in 2019, as well as an Oscar for Best Actor.

During an interview with “People”, Malek shared his thoughts on the 2025 film and what he loved about his character.

“I got to star in an action movie, that is something I never thought I would ever say. I love this character because I find him extremely relatable. A lot of people use the term geek or nerd, but I just see someone who is really underestimated or overlooked,” he shared.

The rest of the cast includes Rachel Brosnahan, Caitríona Balfe, Jon Bernthal, Michael Stuhlbarg, Holt McCallany, Julianne Nicholson, Adrian Martinez, Danny Sapani and Laurence Fishburne.

Fishburne plays the role of Colonel Henderson, Heller’s (Malek) supervisor, who has to train him on how to be an assassin.

Training Heller, however, appears to be a difficult task because he knows nothing about guns and seems to even be afraid of holding the gun.
