Per Deadline, Alex Garland’s next war drama movie Warfare has officially enlisted six new actors, who will be joining the ensemble cast led by May December’s Charles Melton and Reservation Dogs’ D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai.
Noah Centineo (The Recruit, Black Adam), Michael Gandolfini (The Many Saints of Newark), Taylor John Smith (The Outpost), Adain Bradley (Wrong Turn), Henrique Zaga (New Mutants) and Evan Holtzman (Civil War) have been cast in undisclosed roles. The A24 film will also star previously announced cast members Joseph Quinn, Kit Connor, Cosmo Jarvis, Will Poulter and Finn Bennett.
Who’s involved in Warfare?
Warfare will be co-directed and written by Garland and Ray Mendoza. Further details about its plot and characters are still being kept under wraps, but Woon-A-Tai is said to playing Mendoza which might mean that the film would probably be based off on true events. This marks the young actor’s first major movie project as the lead. It will be produced by Peter Rice along with DNA’s Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich.
Mendoza served as the technical and military advisor on multiple action movies such as Lone Survivor, Mile 22, Jurassic World and Garland’s upcoming Civil War movie. Before venturing into the filmmaking industry, the Navy veteran served for over 16 years as a Member of Seal Team 5 and a Land Warfare Training Detachment and BUD/s instructor.
