Adam Wingard's super soldier action movie Onslaught has officially cleared up a major detail by confirming it is not a stealth sequel to The Guest. Instead, it merely occupies the same town, shares the same universe, and features Dan Stevens in the cast. With that technicality addressed, attention shifts squarely toward watching Stevens portray a boot-licking Nazi scientist in Wingard's first non-MonsterVerse outing in a long time. The latest trailer for the project promises an unadulterated, blood-spattering action movie experience.
A Nazi Scientist and Branded Killers
The footage features Dan Stevens wearing a wig, aged-up makeup, and sporting a campy German accent while stepping into the role of a Nazi scientist. The narrative introduces a slew of lethal killing machines bearing names like Crybaby, Cockroach, and The Butcher, with the latter played by MMA fighter Alex Pereira in a style reminiscent of an evil Batman combined with Jason Voorhees. Meanwhile, Adria Arjona portrays a hardened former Army sniper on a mission to protect her young daughter. Additional cast members like Michael Biehn, Reginald VelJohnson, and Rebecca Hall further flesh out the ensemble, evoking the gritty aesthetic of eighties action cinema.
Release Timeline and Fan Theories
While Onslaught is scheduled to land in American cinemas starting from 6 September, an official release date for the UK has not been confirmed yet, though a regional launch is expected shortly after. Fans continuing to draw connections between this project and older titles can look forward to an entertaining cinematic ride filled with high-octane sequences.
