“Welcome to the Punch” crime flick trailer features James McAvoy

If James McAvoy didn't get his fair share of slow-motion gunfighting sequences in "Wanted," he most certainly has now, TheWrap said.

The first trailer for the upcoming British crime thriller "Welcome to the Punch" shows him pulling plenty of triggers and dodging plenty of bullets while flying slowly through the air.

Oddly enough, despite the title, no signs of any fist-fighting.

The film revolves around a cop (McAvoy) hunting down his criminal nemesis (Mark Strong) after the baddie emerges from hiding and returns to London to rescue his son — shot in a heist gone wrong — from the hospital. All may not be as it seems, though, as McAvoy begins to discover that perhaps he's after the wrong man.

"Punch," directed by Eran Creevy ("Shifty") and co-starring David Morrissey, hits theaters on March 15, 2013.
