"You won't escape this city alive without my assistance." Wow, talk about intensity! Netflix has unveiled the main official trailer for action maven Gareth Evans's latest cinematic offering, Havoc, set to premiere exclusively on Netflix on April 25th of this month. Fasten your seatbelts, folks! Since his 2018 film Apostle, this marks Evans's highly anticipated return to the big (or small, in this case) screen, and it promises to be a wait well worth it. Imagine the thrill if it were to hit theaters!
When a drug deal takes a dangerous turn, a battle-scarred detective must navigate the treacherous waters of the criminal underworld to rescue a politician's estranged son. Along the way, he uncovers a labyrinthine web of corruption and conspiracy that has ensnared his entire city. Filmed amidst the backdrop of Cardiff and the surrounding areas of South Wales, despite being set in an American metropolis, Havoc delivers a high-octane, heart-pounding thrill ride.
Starring Tom Hardy as Walker, alongside Timothy Olyphant, Forest Whitaker, Luis Guzmán, Xelia Mendes-Jones, Jessie Mei Li, Justin Cornwell, Quelin Sepulveda, Michelle Waterson, Sunny Pang, and Yeo Yann Yann, this film promises to be as relentlessly brutal and badass as one would expect from Evans. An action extravaganza par excellence, Havoc features exhilarating car chases, fiery shootouts, brutal brawls, and so much more. Prepare to be blown away!
Walker, portrayed by Tom Hardy, is a detective bearing the brunt of countless battles as he wages war against the criminal underworld that threatens to consume his city. Following a botched drug deal, Walker finds himself hotly pursued by numerous factions, including a vengeful crime syndicate, a corrupt politician, and even his own colleagues. As he endeavors to rescue the politician's estranged son, whose involvement in the deal begins to unravel the complex tapestry of corruption and conspiracy, Walker is compelled to confront the dark demons of his past.
Written and directed by Welsh action filmmaking genius Gareth Evans, who previously helmed Footsteps, Merantau, The Raid: Redemption, The Raid 2, and Apostle, as well as episodes of the "Gangs of London" series, Havoc is produced by Ed Talfan, Gareth Evans, Aram Tertzakian, and Tom Hardy. The cinematography is by Matt Flannery, with a musical score by Aria Prayogi.
Netflix will exclusively premiere Gareth Evans's Havoc on April 25th, 2025, just around the corner this spring. Are you geared up for this action-packed spectacle? Ready to binge-watch it now?
