Kit Connor Goes Full Combat: What to Expect from 'Warfare'

Still from the movie 'Warfare' (2025)

Trenches, trauma, and truth collide in this war-fuelled drama.

Warfare, the gritty new war film from directors Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland, is set for a theatrical release on April 11, 2025 in the US, with the UK release following on April 18. The film centres on a Navy SEAL platoon caught in a brutal combat scenario during the 2006 Battle of Ramadi, aiming to capture the intensity of real modern warfare without the usual Hollywood polish.

Starring Kit Connor, Joseph Quinn, Cosmo Jarvis, Will Poulter, and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, the film was shot in and around London, where Garland’s signature minimalism meets Mendoza’s military precision. Early screenings suggest that Warfare features extensive use of practical effects and long-take combat sequences designed to mirror the chaos of real-life military operations. Notably, Kit Connor reportedly underwent intense physical training with actual SEAL advisors to bring authenticity to his role.

While Garland’s involvement initially stirred speculation that the film might veer into dystopian territory, Warfare remains grounded in realism, promising tension, exhaustion, and very little glory. It's not just a war film—it’s a pressure cooker.
