The first trailer for the upcoming A24 film “Civil War” shows a fractured America as tension rises. The movie is written and directed by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation) and stars Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Cailee Spaeny, Jesse Plemons, and Nick Offerman.
From A24:
An adrenaline-fueled thrill ride through a near-future fractured America balanced on the razors edge.
In the trailer, we learn of the “Florida Alliance” as well as the California/Texas alliance known as the “Western Forces,” a third-term president (played by Nick Offerman), and of the 50 states, 19 have seceded. Journalists are said to be shot on-site if found at the U.S. Capitol, and a military personnel (played by Jesse Plemmons) can be heard asking, “What kind of American are you?”
Kirsten Dunst plays a journalist who, along with other journalists, is attempting to enter the highly guarded U.S. Capitol.
The movie is set to premiere on April 26, 2024.
