28 DAYS LATER Writer's Civil War Sequel Trailer Causes Confusion

The upcoming A24 film "Civil War," written by "28 Days Later" and "Enslaved: Odyssey to the West" veteran Alex Garland, remains enigmatic even after the release of its second trailer. The dystopian setting features a new American civil war with unlikely allies Texas and California joining forces. Despite showcasing a stellar cast with the likes of Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, and Jesse Plemons, the trailer leaves audiences with more questions than answers, hinting at political messages through striking imagery, such as the destruction of the Lincoln Memorial. The only certainty is that the film promises a unique, albeit currently obscure, narrative when it premieres in theaters on April 12.

"Civil War" is scheduled to be released in cinemas on April 12.

"Civil War" is a separate entity from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Alex Garland, noted for his gripping and often thought-provoking work in the science fiction and horror genres, has penned this new tale that diverges from his past work in "28 Days Later," which revolutionized the zombie genre. With "Enslaved: Odyssey to the West," Garland showcased his adaptability in story-telling within the interactive medium, expanding his reach to the video game industry. The eclectic cast for "Civil War" adds further allure to the project, signaling another potential hit for A24, a production company known for its distinctive and award-winning indie films.
