Overview
- Adam Wingard screened new Onslaught footage at San Diego Comic‑Con on July 24, showing violent action and a brief shot of Dan Stevens in character makeup.
- The film follows a former Army sniper who must protect her young daughter from rogue, genetically engineered super soldiers and stars Adria Arjona with Dan Stevens, Rebecca Hall, Drew Starkey, Michael Biehn, Reginald VelJohnson, Eric Wareheim, and Alex Pereira.
- Wingard and Stevens said Onslaught “lives in the same universe” as The Guest and takes place in the same town, but both emphasized it is a spiritual or loose trilogy entry rather than a direct continuation of prior characters.
- The Motion Picture Association assigned Onslaught an R rating for strong bloody violence, gore, sexual material/nudity, and language, positioning the film for adult audiences and explicit genre play.
- Written again by Wingard’s frequent collaborator Simon Barrett, Onslaught is pitched as an 80s‑influenced, John Carpenter‑styled return after Wingard’s MonsterVerse films and is set for wide theatrical release on September 4.
