The first trailer for Civil War, the latest movie from director Alex Garland, has been released – and it looks like the filmmaker best known for his psychological thrillers is trying his hand at the action genre.
The movie sees Kirsten Dunst plays a war journalist who’s thrust back into the field on home turf in a fraught and violent version of present-day America where 19 states have seceded and the “Western Forces” of Texas and California have risen up against the rest of the country. We’re also told that journalists are “shot on sight” in the capital, so it doesn’t look great for Dunst’s character.
The trailer also gives us a glimpse of Nick Offerman as the US President and Jesse Plemons as an antagonistic figure that Dunst and her companions encounter on the road. The movie’s cast also includesPriscilla’s Cailee Spaeny,Dune’s Stephen McKinley-Henderson, Narcos' Wagner Moura, and House of the Dragon’s Sonoya Mizuno.
