A24’s behind-the-scenes look at Warfare includes interviews with the cast and filmmakers Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland (Civil War). The film is based on Mendoza’s experiences during the Iraq War, and the cast recognizes the importance of sharing this story. In the two-minute first look video, Mendoza states, “Veterans who want to talk to their loved ones and say, ‘Hey, this is my experience,’ or ‘This is what I’m feeling,’ you’re the reason why I made this film.”
Warfare stars D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, and Taylor John Smith star. The cast also includes Michael Gandolfini, Adain Bradley, Noah Centineo, Evan Holtzman, Henrique Zaga, Joseph Quinn, and Charles Melton.
“Written and directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland, Warfare embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory,” reads A24’s synopsis. “A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it.”
A24’s set an April 11, 2025 theatrical release date.
