Apple's first trailer for 'The Banker' gives us an ex-Marvel super team

Anthony Mackie and Samuel L. Jackson get together for this Apple Original Film that's based on a true story.

Anthony Mackie and Samuel L. Jackson, both of them veterans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, are set to team up again for a decidedly more grounded tale.

In The Banker, a based-on-truth story and Apple Original Film, the duo plays Bernard Garrett and Joe Morris, respectively. During the 1960s, the two hatched a plan to build a real estate and banking empire around the idea of helping African Americans forge their own path to finding the American Dream.

To do it, they sought help from a working class white guy by the name of Matt Steiner (Nicholas Hoult, of X-Men fame). Garrett and Morris taught Steiner how to socialize in rich guy circles, and used him as the face of their operation at a time in history when the color of one's skin was an open and in lots of cases legally mandated barrier (rather than the systemic barrier it still is today).

The Banker hits theaters on Dec. 6, a few weeks ahead of its eventual Apple TV+ release, in Jan. 2020.
