ScreenRant is excited to unveil a first-look image from the highly anticipated Inheritance, a thrilling international espionage film directed by Neil Burger, known for acclaimed titles like Divergent and The Illusionist. Co-written by Burger and Olen Steinhauer, the creator of Epix’s Berlin Station, this spy thriller stars Phoebe Dynevor (of Bridgerton fame) as Maya, a young woman who, after the death of her mother, rekindles her relationship with her father, played by Rhys Ifans (famous for his roles in House of the Dragon and Venom: The Last Dance). As their family ties deepen, Maya becomes embroiled in her father’s hidden life as a spy. The cast also features talents like Ciara Baxendale, Kersti Bryan, Daniel Joey Albright, Mitchell Hochman, and Majd Eid.

Our exclusive first-look image places Maya in an outdoor bazaar, surrounded by vibrant Urdu signage. Though the setting appears tranquil, subtle cues suggest underlying tensions; onlookers lurk in the shadows, heightening the suspense that Maya is under constant scrutiny. Take a look at the full-sized image below:

This vivid imagery encapsulates Maya’s discomfort as she is thrust into a treacherous world of espionage. Alone on her mission, her sense of isolation amplifies as she navigates these foreign landscapes. The shocking revelation of her father’s double life likely leaves her questioning whom to trust, compounded by the presence of unfamiliar faces all around.

Throughout the film, Maya’s adventures span several nations, including Egypt, India, and South Korea.

Despite being English, both Dynevor and Ifans exhibit American accents in the trailer, contrasting with their limited time in the U.S. Instead, Inheritance takes viewers on a captivating journey across diverse and culturally rich locations, presenting a fascinating backdrop for Maya’s transformational storyline.
