This is the first image of Lily Gladstone and Leonardo DiCaprio from the upcoming Martin Scorsese film Killers of the Flower Moon for Apple Studios. The film is based on the best-selling nonfiction book about a staggering series of “accidents,” poisonings, and shootings that killed members of the Osage Indian nation in the 1920s—most of them beneficiaries of a windfall of wealth after oil was discovered on their Oklahoma reservation. 

Gladstone, best known for her role of the rancher in director Kelly Reichardt’s 2016 film Certain Women and the Showtime series Billions, stars as Mollie Kyle, an Osage woman who was heir to one such fortune. DiCaprio, reteaming with Scorsese for a sixth time, plays Ernest Burkhart, the nephew of powerful rancher William Hale (fellow Scorsese veteran Robert De Niro) who used brute force to control his corner of Oklahoma, which at that point had only been a state for a little over a decade. The law was basically what people like him said it was.
