Many details for Onslaught are being kept in an underground experimental facility, but sources describe it as a gonzo action horror thriller. The scope is said to more in line with Wingard’s earlier movies, which were all original creations, before he went off and made the big-budget spectacle hits Godzilla vs Kong and Godzilla x Kong.

According to sources, Arjona will play a mother who falls back on a particular set of skills in order to protect her loved ones after she runs afoul of a threat that has escaped a secret military base.

Stevens is the actor that I want to get the Nolan stimulus package.

Stevens was in the last Godzilla x Kong movie with Wingard also and was great. They seem to like working with each other.

Just when the cast couldn’t get better, they drop this! Awesome!

Michael Biehn, the actor who starred in James Cameron’s iconic 1980s movies The Terminator andAliens, is returning to studio movies.

The actor has spent the last couple of decades working in the low-budget thriller space outside the Hollywood mainstream, but has now joined the growing cast of Onslaught, the action thriller that Adam Wingard is directing for A24.

Reginald VelJohnson, the Family Mattersactor who is also remembered for his role in action classic Die Hard, and comedian Eric Wareheim (Tim & Eric) have also signed for the feature, which gets under way this month.
