Violence spreads from sea to shining sea in A24’s latest Civil War trailer


Alex Garland’s latest movie will hit theaters on April 12th.

A24 has dropped its second trailer for Civil War, a dystopian action movie from director Alex Garland that imagines a fractured, near-future United States tearing itself apart. Starring Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Nick Offerman, the movie follows a group of journalists navigating their way across the US as it descends into the second American Civil War. Portraying the US President, Offerman immediately opens with a public service announcement calling to depose the “illegal secessionist government” of the “Western Forces of Texas and California” as a haunting whistle cover of “America the Beautiful” plays over war-torn scenes — including one dramatic shot of the Lincoln Memorial being blown up.
