Rebecca Hall has officially joined the cast of “Onslaught,” an upcoming action horror thriller directed by Adam Wingard, known for his work on “Godzilla x Kong.” This film, produced by A24, marks a reunion between Hall and Wingard, as she previously collaborated with him on the blockbuster “Godzilla x Kong” .
Adria Arjona, Dan Stevens, Michael Biehn, Reginald VelJohnson, Eric Wareheim, Drew Starkey, and Alex “Poatan” Pereira are among the well-known performers that are part of the “Onslaught” cast. Hall’s addition to this ensemble is highly anticipated, given her impressive track record in both horror and dramatic roles.
“Onslaught” is described as a “gonzo action horror thriller,” which aligns with Wingard’s earlier works that blend intense action with horror elements. The film follows a mother, played by Arjona, who lives in a trailer and must rely on her resourcefulness to protect her family from a threat that has escaped from a secret military base. Dan Stevens portrays a German scientist involved in the experiments that lead to this chaos.
Principal photography for “Onslaught” began in November 2024 in New Mexico, indicating that production is well underway. The film is being produced by Wingard alongside Simon Barrett, who has co-written several of Wingard’s previous films, including “You’re Next” and “The Guest” . This collaboration suggests that audiences can expect a tightly woven narrative filled with suspense and thrilling action sequences.
The announcement of Hall’s casting adds another layer of excitement to the project, especially considering her previous roles in films like “The Night House,” which showcased her ability to navigate complex emotional landscapes within horror contexts. Her involvement is expected to elevate the film’s profile and attract a broader audience.
As the release date approaches, fans are eager to see how Hall’s character will develop within this intense storyline and how her performance will contribute to the overall dynamics of the film. Given Wingard’s reputation for innovative storytelling in the horror genre, “Onslaught” promises to be a compelling addition to his filmography and the wider landscape of contemporary horror cinema.
