Havoc will finally been unleashed later this month, and Netflix has released a skull-crushing, washing machine-dodging full trailer for the Tom Hardy-led action thriller.

Fans of Gareth Evans' acclaimed The Raid movies have been eagerly awaiting news on his next feature, which we haven't heard much about since the filmmaker signed a multi-year deal with Netflix several years ago.

Back in 2021, we learned that Evans was set to team with Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises, the Venom movies) for his first project for the streamer, and the first full trailer Havoc has now been released online.

According to the official synopsis: “Walker (Tom Hardy) is a bruised detective fighting his way through the criminal underworld threatening to engulf his entire city. In the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong, Walker finds himself with a number of factions on his tail; a vengeful crime syndicate, a crooked politician, as well as his fellow cops. When attempting to rescue the politician’s estranged son, whose involvement in the drug deal starts to unravel a deep web of corruption and conspiracy, he is forced to confront the demons of his past.”

The movie is set to premiere on the streamer on Friday, April 25, and has been described as Evans's "love letter to the heroic bloodshed genre; the films that came out of Hong Kong in the '80s and '90s".

Here's what Evans had to say about Hardy's character during an interview with Empire.

“He’s a morally compromised homicide detective, who, two days before Christmas, just wants to get presents for his daughter and reconcile his relationship with them.”

“There was an intent with the design of the trailer to let people know that this will get quite gnarly in places,” added Evans. “That was actually technically Day Zero of our production schedule. It was an opportunity to camera test and SFX test, and test the light setups. And we ended up morphing it into a day of production. It was a baptism of fire.”

Check out the brutally violent trailer below along with a new poster, and let us know what you think in the comments section.

Havoc also stars Justin Cornwell, Quelin Sepulveda, Luis Guzmán, Michelle Waterson, Sunny Pang, Jim Caesar, Xelia Mendes-Jones with Yeo Yann Yann, Timothy Olyphant, and Forest Whitaker.

Gareth Mother[frick]ing Evans.

The Raid 1&2, Gangs of London, maybe missed some I don't know but these three productions says it all.

My top choice to write and direct a Deathstroke or Deadshot movie, hell I believe this guy can even pull off Batman.

I know Havoc is going to be a full blast action movie, and I know the script may not be top notch but that's the thing about his movies, the actions always compensates for that flawed script.

Looking forward to this, just because its him.

His action scenes are everything and Havoc(no pun)

Furthermore, thinking about it, Gareth is bringing back that old-school Chow Yun Fat style movie ie. Hard Boiled, Better Tomorrow, Once a thief, the killer etc.

[frick]ing love it

For [frick]s Sake

Eh, looks alright. Don't like all the CGI for such a basic premise but it looks entertaining. I'll bite.

I think that seems fun so I’ll definitely check it out!!.

The action looks insane though I wouldn’t expect anything less from Gareth Evans after classics such as The Raid films.

I prefer practical FX for these action movies but I hope it's good like The Raid.

I’m really looking forward to this but I kinda wish it wasn’t coming out around the same time as Mobland- which I’m really digging so far. I’m a big Hardy fan but I feel like releasing both projects around the same time was a bad move…very Pedro Pascal. They even use the same Fontaines DC song in both projects.

Side note, I still can’t believe we missed out on him to playing Wolverine back when Matthew Vaughn was still set to direct Days of Future Past. My God that would’ve been amazing casting.

Looks awesome, like a more extreme version of Hardy's character on MOBLAND.
