"Bullet Train" is based on a Japanese novel named "Maria Beetle" by the best-selling author Kotaro Isaka. Ryosuke Saegusa and Yuma Terada of CTB Inc., who represent Isaka and the IP, are the executive producers for the project.

Sony Pictures recently announced that the studio is developing the famous One Punch Man, which also based on a Japanese manga. Therefore, the potential for the movie to have a franchise is highly expected.

According to sources, Joey King will play one of four leads opposite Pitt; the actress is believed to be the only woman in the group. This would be King’s most action-heavy part she ever played, giving her the chance leading to more roles in films like it in the future. This could totally happen in the way that "The Edge of Tomorrow"' did for Emily Blunt and "Iron Man 2" did for Scarlett Johansson.
