Adria Arjona is trading in her Hit Man charm for sniper precision in the first trailer for Adam Wingard's latest adrenaline-fueled thriller, Onslaught. The director of Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is back with a gritty, high-octane ride that pits one elite sniper against an army of unstoppable killing machines.
The trailer opens with Arjona's character, a highly trained markswoman, living a quiet life—until a covert military experiment goes horribly wrong. Super soldiers, engineered to be nearly indestructible, break free from their confines and begin a rampage. It's up to Arjona's lone wolf to track them down and put them in the ground, one bullet at a time.
What Is Onslaught About?
Written by Simon Barrett (Wingard's frequent collaborator on You're Next and The Guest), Onslaught is a lean, mean action machine. The story follows a former military sniper who is pulled back into the field when a top-secret program creates soldiers that can't be stopped by conventional means. Armed with her wits, a high-caliber rifle, and a personal vendetta, she must take down the rogue super soldiers before they reach a populated city.
The film also stars Jake Gyllenhaal as the shadowy architect of the super-soldier program, adding a layer of moral complexity to the carnage. Megan Fox and Dave Bautista round out the cast, with Fox playing a ruthless military commander and Bautista as a fellow operative with his own secrets.
First Look at the Action
The trailer showcases Wingard's signature blend of practical stunts and visceral combat. Arjona's character is seen leaping across rooftops, engaging in brutal hand-to-hand fights, and landing impossible shots. The super soldiers, meanwhile, are terrifyingly efficient—they shrug off gunfire, tear through walls, and move with predatory speed.
Fans of Wingard's previous work will recognize the director's love for '80s-inspired synth scores and neon-lit nightscapes. The trailer's pulse-pounding soundtrack, paired with quick cuts of explosions and close-quarters brawls, promises a throwback action experience with modern stakes.
In a landscape crowded with superhero blockbusters, Onslaught aims to deliver a grounded, gritty alternative. Arjona, who recently impressed audiences in Andor and Hit Man, proves she can anchor a high-concept action thriller with both physicality and emotional depth.
