How to watch the Hitman movies in order

The bald, barcoded Agent 47 has stalked the screen in two separate films. Here's how the Hitman movies connect.
Adapted from the stealth-action video games, the Hitman films follow Agent 47, a genetically engineered assassin marked by the barcode on his neck. The franchise took two distinct swings, with different actors and a full reboot. Both films drew on the popular stealth-action games, trading the series' methodical gameplay for stylized gunfights, exotic locations, and Agent 47's cold, calculating persona.
π Release Order
Release order presents the two attempts to bring Agent 47 to life.
- Hitman (2007)
- Hitman: Agent 47 (2015)
The 2015 film is a reboot rather than a sequel, so the two share no continuity.
π Story Chronology
Each film is a standalone take on Agent 47's origins, with no shared timeline.
- Hitman (2007) β Timothy Olyphant as Agent 47
- Hitman: Agent 47 (2015) β reboot with Rupert Friend
Which Order Should You Choose?
Since the films are separate continuities, order doesn't strictly matter, but watching the 2007 original first shows how the franchise evolved before its 2015 reboot. Pick whichever style appeals to you β both are self-contained. Neither adaptation fully satisfied fans of the games, but watching the 2007 film before the 2015 reboot shows how Hollywood tried two very different approaches to the barcoded assassin.
