"Havoc" Teaser: Tom Hardy Takes on the Underworld in Gareth Evans’ New Brutal Action Thriller
Corrupt cops, deadly gangsters, and non-stop carnage—Tom Hardy fights his way through the chaos in Gareth Evans’ latest bone-crunching spectacle.
Who doesn’t hate a crooked cop? They’re the worst. But in a ruthless world filled with corruption and violence, sometimes a crooked cop is the only hero left.
Check out the first sneak-peek teaser for Havoc, a new high-octane, blood-splattering action thriller from Gareth Evans—the mastermind behind some of the most ultraviolent crime thrillers in recent years, The Raid and The Raid 2.
Evans teams up with British actor Tom Hardy, who, after playing journalist-turned-alien symbiote host Eddie Brock in the Venom films, gets to tackle yet another gravelly American accent—this time as a big-city detective with a shady past.
In Havoc, another bone-crushing, action-heavy spectacle from Evans, Hardy’s detective finds himself racing against time to rescue a politician’s estranged son, all while spiraling down a path of death and destruction as local mob gangs, corrupt cops, and dirty politicians collide in a powder keg of chaos.
Joining Hardy in the mayhem is a cast of impressive talents, including Jessie Mei Li (Shadow and Bone), Justin Cornwell (The Umbrella Academy), Quelin Sepulveda (Good Omens), Luis Guzmán (Wednesday), Michelle Waterson-Gomez (The Cleaning Lady), Xelia Mendes-Jones (Fallout), Yeo Yann Yann (Wet Season), Timothy Olyphant (Justified), and Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker.
Writer-director-producer Gareth Evans is once again working with Netflix, following his 2018 Gothic folk horror thriller Apostle. Evans has spent the last couple of years working on his British crime series Gangs of London, which will be going into its third season in March in the U.K. Havoc marks Evans's return to feature films since Apostle.
Havoc is set to premiere on Netflix starting on April 25th.
Here’s the official synopsis:
After a drug deal gone wrong, a bruised detective (Tom Hardy) must fight his way through a criminal underworld to rescue a politician's estranged son, while unravelling a deep web of corruption and conspiracy that ensnares his entire city.
