Universal Pictures has released the first official trailer for Baltasar Kormákur's survival thriller, Beast, which stars 5x Primetime Emmy-nominee Idris Elba (Thor: Ragnarok; Avengers: Infinity War) in the lead role as the recently widowed Dr. Nate Samuels (Idris Elba), who brings his teenage daughters to a game reserve in South Africa and gets a lot more than he bargained for when a rogue lion marks him as the enemy.

Sharlto Copley (The A-TeamMaleficent) co-stars as old family friend and wildlife biologist Martin Battles, while relative newcomers Iyana Halley (This Is Us; Abbott Elementary) and Leah Sava Jeffries (Percy Jackson and the Olympians; Rel) play Elba's daughters Meredith and Norah, respectively.

Beast hits theaters August 19.

Check out the official trailer and new stills below:

Sometimes the rustle in the bushes actually is a monster.

Idris Elba (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, The Suicide Squad) stars in a pulse-pounding new thriller about a father and his two teenage daughters who find themselves hunted by a massive rogue lion intent on proving that the savannah has but one apex predator.

Elba plays Dr. Nate Daniels, a recently widowed husband who returns to South Africa, where he first met his wife, on a long-planned trip with their daughters to a game reserve managed by Martin Battles (Sharlto Copley, Russian Doll series, Maleficent), an old family friend and wildlife biologist. But what begins as a journey of healing jolts into a fearsome fight for survival when a lion, a survivor of blood-thirsty poachers who now sees all humans as the enemy, begins stalking them.

@grif - It's on Blu-Ray in the UK on Amazon but it's pricey.

£36.00 about $50.00

If Idris Elba doesn't team up with the lion at the end to fight off poachers then I want my money back

This is like one of the stupidest yet most legendary moments of all Marvel Comics.

Looks like dumb fun, Idris Elba & Sharlto Copley are always good to see

I know the whole family thing is to get us emotionally invested in Elba's character, but I think it would be more interesting to see the lion actually go after (and maul) some poachers. Poacher or not though, Elba punching lions is a cool premise

Looks fun like to see less cgi that’s what made ghost in darkness good less cgi

No joke I had a friend who grew up in Africa and had to punch a cheetah after getting attacked, and another who punched an elephant. In both cases the animal was deterred, probably more annoyed, and ended up walking away.

I expect Copley’s character to get maimed or killed.

I understand it’s a movie but I don’t really like these kind of films. This kind of shows lions as murdering creatures but they are shy and only attack if provoked/scared. They are endangered because of poaching/lion farms as it is.

I remember this movie when it was called Jaws and took place in the water. I also remember this movie when it was titled the Ghost and the Darkness.
