Here's who stars in Martin Scorsese's latest true-crime epic Killers of the Flower Moon, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.
For a filmmaker of his magnitude, Martin Scorsese has created numerous masterpieces, with films like Goodfellas and The Irishman regarded as his crowning glory. His latest film Killers of the Flower Moon has all the elements of becoming his true magnum opus. Directed, produced, and co-written by Scorsese along with Eric Roth, Killers of the Flower Moon is based on the eponymous 2017 nonfiction novel by David Grann.

De Niro has previously starred in films like The Godfather Part II , the Meet the Parents films, The Deer Hunter, Silver Linings Playbook, Midnight Run, Analyze This, Jackie Brown, Heat, and Joker.
