“You don’t know what side they’re fighting for…” This looks scary. A24 has unveiled the second trailer for Alex Garland’s Civil War, his next new action thriller movie arriving in theaters this April. This trailer confirms – we really don’t need this movie right now. This is the fourth film Garland has directed, following Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Men. The actual plot is still being kept a secret but it’s obvious what is going on here – mainly that it’s about a civil war in a near-future America. The excellent ensemble cast for Garland’s Civil War film features Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Karl Glusman, Sonoya Mizuno, Jonica T. Gibbs, Jess Matney, plus Jesse Plemons. I really think this is a misguided, harmful movie that is glorifying the action that will happen in a civil war rather than being a movie trying to stop America from going this direction. I doubt it will actually change anyone’s minds either. Sadly this does not look good. As usual, that’s just my own take… What do you think?

Here’s the second official trailer for Alex Garland’s Civil War movie, direct from A24’s YouTube:
