Leonardo DiCaprio returns to the screen in Martin Scorsese’s latest project.

The Oscar winners reunite on the director’s newest film Killers of the Flower Moon, an Apple original film set for release later this year. The pair most recently collaborated on 2013’s The Wolf of Wall Street.

In a first look photo of the Western drama, DiCaprio’s character Ernest Burkhart is seen sitting at a dinner table alongside costar Lily Gladstone, who plays his wife Mollie.

Killers of the Flower Moon, based on David Grann’s non-fiction novel, is set in 1920s Oklahoma and depicts the serial murders of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation. The string of brutal crimes came to be known as the Reign of Terror.

DiCaprio, 46, stars as Ernest, the nephew of a powerful local rancher (played by Robert De Niro), and Gladstone plays Ernest’s Osage wife Mollie.
