The first teaser trailer for Killers of the Flower Moon has finally dropped, giving fans the first glimpse at the Martin Scorsese epic.
The highly-anticipated Western movie, which is based on a true story, will be released in cinemas on October 6, with a run-time of three hours and 26 minutes, before landing on Apple TV+ shortly after.
Leonardo DiCaprio is leading the star-studded cast as Ernest Burkhart, alongside on-screen love interest Lily Gladstone, who plays Mollie Kyle.
They are joined by a string of other huge Hollywood names, including Robert De Niro, Brendan Fraser, Jesse Plemons and John Lithgow.
The intense teaser, which clocks in at just under 90 seconds, introduces viewers Ernest as he delves into the history of the Osage nation, explaining that greed attracted ‘hungry wolves’ to the area.
‘Can you find the wolves in this picture?’ he repeats in the brief clip, amid flashes of violence and families being torn apart.

The upcoming movie is based on David Grann’s 2017 book, Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI.
The official synopsis reads: ‘At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted, and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder.
‘Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone) “Killers of the Flower Moon is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal.’
Killers of the Flower Moon is released in cinemas on October 6, before premiering on Apple TV+.
