Tom Hardy is on the hunt for a politician’s missing son in the trailer for the Netflix movie Havoc.
Writer-director Gareth Evans‘ feature is set to begin streaming on April 25. Forest Whitaker, Timothy Olyphant, Justin Cornwell, Jessie Mei Li and Luis Guzmán round out the cast.
Havoc centers on Walker (Hardy), a jaded detective forced to confront his past mistakes after he sets out to find a politician’s estranged son who disappeared following a botched drug deal.
The trailer shows Hardy butting heads with authority figures, including one played by Whitaker. “And don’t forget, I know what you did,” Whitaker says ominously in the footage. This leads Hardy to reply, “You have no idea what I did.”
Evans helmed the film from his own script. Hardy, Evans, Ed Talfan and Aram Tertzakian serve as producers.
Hardy led the 2024 features The Bikeriders, which also stars Austin Butler and Jodie Comer, and Venom: The Last Dance, marking the third film in the Sony trilogy that focuses on the titular Marvel character. He can also soon be seen in the Paramount+ series MobLand from executive producer Guy Ritchie.
Evans is known for writing and directing the 2011 action flick The Raid and its 2014 sequel. He also helmed the 2018 Netflix horror movie Apostle, starring Dan Stevens, Lucy Boynton and Michael Sheen.
During a 2020 interview with the YouTube channel Rossatron, Evans expressed his excitement about filling Havoc with big action sequences. “Havoc is going to be me unleashing the last three or four years of not doing something really big-scale with action, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to make that film next,” he said at the time.
