The two-minute trailer features a series of suspenseful sequences set against a backdrop of Green Day’s “American Idiot,” with a Korean musical twist. It begins with Owen plunging into a covert operation that rapidly goes awry. Viewers are treated to high-stakes scenes, including brawls in a Korean nightclub, arrests, shootouts, and a daring yacht escape.

Amid these tense moments, Owen’s superior, Walter Nyland (Vondie Curtis-Hall), reminds him, “But you’re not a hero.” Further heightening the suspense, CIA Director Alton West, played by Nathan Fillion, cautions that Owen’s actions might expose the agency’s deepest secrets.
