When will Warfare be released?
A24 will release the much-anticipated war movie Warfare on April 11, 2025, across the United States. The premiere date for the United Kingdom is, however, still being kept under wraps. Most of the film was shot in London during May 2024, with Noah Centineo, Henry Zaga, Michael Gandolfini, and Taylor John Smith joining the cast a month before in April 2024.
What do we know about the plot of Warfare?
A movie logline of Warfare reads:
"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."
The film will take us through Ray Mendoza's (played by D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai) journey as a Navy SEAL through the disturbances of the war and will reportedly portray real-time experiences of the people who survived the journey.
