The first trailer for Warfare has been released for the A24 movie that stars Charles Melton (May December), Joseph Quinn (The Fantastic Four: First Steps), Will Poulter (The Bear), and more. The movie is co-directed by Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland, the latter of whom recently made 2024’s Civil War.
“Written and directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland (Civil War, 28 Days Later), Warfare embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory. A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it,” says the synopsis.
