[IMDB Trailer](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8946378/videoplayer/vi622050329) I’m looking forward to this one.

It sounds like he’s doing an imitation of Kevin Spacey playing Frank Underwood, but with a name like Benoit Blanc, you might expect Louisiana.

I felt he did an [okay job](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KODvT5rDOQ8) with a generic southern accent in _Logan Lucky_.
