Overview
- At San Diego Comic-Con on July 24, Adam Wingard screened new footage and confirmed Onslaught takes place in the same town and universe as his 2014 film The Guest.
- Wingard described Onslaught as a spiritual conclusion to a thematic trilogy that includes You’re Next and The Guest rather than a direct character sequel.
- The movie stars Adria Arjona as a former Army sniper who must protect her daughter when genetically engineered super‑soldiers break loose, and Arjona said the role required intensive tactical training.
- Dan Stevens appears in new footage but plays a different, grotesque scientist‑type character in heavy makeup rather than reprising his David role from The Guest.
- Onslaught is rated R for strong bloody violence, gore, sexual material and language and is scheduled to open in U.S. theaters on September 4 with an online trailer and marketing pushed after the Comic‑Con reveal.
