Western tones lead as gunfighters and bounty hunters roam wild, while people fight for their survival in an uncertain world.

The trailer opens with Stormtrooper helmets on spikes with refugee like characters cowering in fee crossed between violent scenes of gunfighting and Mexican standoffs.

The title bounty hunter is involved in more than a few of these with Werner Herzog offering a brief voiceover before coming face to face with the Mandalorian.

"Bounty Hunting is a complicated profession," Herzog's mystery character says. "Don't you agree?"
