The next film from director Alex Garland looks like quite the action-packed dystopia. A24 just released the first trailer for Civil War, which is set in a near-future version of the US that is, as you can probably guess, in the midst of a violent civil war, with forces from Texas and California making their way to the White House. It’s hard to glean too many story details from the trailer, but it features a small group attempting to infiltrate a heavily fortified Washington, DC. It also features the tagline “all empires fall,” so you know things aren’t going so well.

Civil War stars Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, and Stephen McKinley Henderson, alongside Nick Offerman as the president and frequent Garland collaborator Sonoya Mizuno. Garland is coming off last year’s folk horror film Men, and his previous work includes Ex Machina, the FX series Devs, and an adaptation of Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation. On Civil War, he serves as both writer and director.

The film is due to hit theaters on April 26th.

    I thought they already did this one, where Iron Man fought Captain America and they were all fighting in an airport and Spider-Man was there

    Judging by the main characters wearing big PRESS vests I'm guessing this is going to be endlessly jerking off journalists.

    Also they're cowards for not having a-little-trolling as the president

    Western Forces of Texas and California

    Crowned heads, wealth and privilege may well tremble should ever again the Bear and the Lone Star unite!

    I can only imagine how lib this will be, but I'll probably watch it eventually. Based on the trailer it looks like the ending is going to be a confrontation with the President where they expose him for instigating the war, big potential to go all in on liberal ideology with that.

    looks silly but it's Alex Garland so it'll probably be pretty unhinged and lead to some interesting discussions, even if it's bad

    edit: Jesse Plemons is very well-cast as the dipshit chud military guy, should be fun
