Adam Wingard’s Onslaught Gets September 4 Theatrical Release After Theater-Only Trailer

A theater-only trailer signals a theatrical-first marketing push that marks Wingard’s return to smaller-scale, high-physicality genre work.

Overview

  • The trailer for Onslaught is currently playing in U.S. cinemas before Backrooms and reveals a confirmed theatrical release date of September 4, 2026.
  • Adam Wingard directs a screenplay by longtime collaborator Simon Barrett in a project described as a gonzo action-horror thriller that recalls their earlier hits.
  • Adria Arjona leads an ensemble cast that includes Rebecca Hall, Dan Stevens and UFC fighter Alex “Poatan” Pereira, whose martial-arts skills are noted as shaping the film’s combat scenes.
  • A24 will distribute Onslaught worldwide and co-finance the film with Lyrical Media, with production credits including Ryder Picture Company and Breakaway Civilization.
  • Theater-first placement of the trailer suggests A24 is prioritizing a big-screen launch and fans should watch for the trailer to post online in the coming weeks as wider promotion begins.
