New ‘Civil War’ Trailer Shows What a Civil War in Modern America Would Look Like

The upcoming film from the director of ‘Ex Machina’ and ‘Annihilation’ is the most ambitious of his career and stars Kirsten Dunst (‘Spider-Man’) and Jesse Plemons (‘Breaking Bad’).

“Citizens of America. The people of the Florida Alliance and the Western forces of Texas and California will be welcomed back to these United States  as soon as their  illegal and secessionist government is deposed.” This is how the White House (with Nick Offerman at the helm) addresses all its citizens in the new trailer for ‘Civil War’ (below), the upcoming movie from Alex Garland.

The director of ‘Ex Machina’ and ‘Annihilation’, a master of science fiction and futuristic dystopias, is teaming up with A24 (a guarantee of quality) for another ambitious film whose title leaves little to the imagination. ‘Civil War’ will reflect what a civil war would look like in contemporary America. “In the not-too-distant future, the United States is about to plunge into a conflict that will have catastrophic consequences.”

The film will be released on April 26, 2024, and features a cast full of familiar faces, led by Kirsten Dunst (‘Spider-Man’, ‘Melancholia’), Jesse Plemons (‘Breaking Bad’, ‘The Irishman’), Wagner Moura (‘Narcos’), Stephen McKinley Henderson (‘Fences’ and ‘Lady Bird’) and Cailee Spaeny (‘Priscilla’).
