Diabolik – Ginko all'attacco! hits Italian cinemas November 17

The Manetti Bros. return with a new Diabolik film, Diabolik – Ginko all'attacco!, releasing November 17 via 01 Distribution. Unlike their previous Diabolik movie, this is not a sequel but a distinct film featuring a new lead actor, Giacomo Gianniotti replacing Luca Marinelli. The directors chose to adapt the specific comic 'Ginko all'attacco' on the advice of Mario Gomboli of Astorina, seeking more action and plot. The film introduces Altea, played by Monica Bellucci, as the secret lover of Inspector Ginko (Valerio Mastandrea). The story follows Diabolik and Eva Kant (Miriam Leone) planning a heist that turns into a trap set by Ginko, testing their relationship. Eva, feeling betrayed, proposes collaborating with Ginko to capture Diabolik. The film explores themes of masks and societal conventions, contrasting the free but criminal Diabolik and Eva with the constrained Ginko and Altea, whose love is hindered by class differences. The female characters, inspired by the Giussani sisters' comics, are determined and active.
