Netflix has released some huge movies over the last few years. From some early releases in 2025 like Back in Action to the future movies of the 2025 Netflix schedule, there are so many movies to look out for in the future on one of the best streaming services out there.
What does that future hold? Havoc, of course. A film we have literally waited years for at this point.
The movie stars Tom Hardy, and while there hasn't been much news about it, we know enough so far to create a guide for you. From who's in the cast to what Havoc is about, here is what we know so far.
What Is The Havoc Release Date?
At the time of updating this in January 2025, Netflix Tudum finally confirmed that Havoc will release at some point in 2025. This means that it will be a part of our 2025 movie schedule.
The movie was announced in February 2021 by Netflix, with Tom Hardy already attached to star and produce. Casting news came out shortly after that, and the movie completed filming a while ago. Thankfully, it will be coming out this year, though we’re still waiting for a specific date.
What Is Havoc About?
If you were wondering exactly what Havoc will be about, we already have an idea from Tudum themselves.
It will follow a detective who travels into the depths of the criminal world on a critical mission – to rescue a politician's son when a drug deal is botched. But, upon doing so, he discovers much more corruption in his city than he ever believed existed and has to find a way out while keeping the son safe.
The Havoc Cast
There is plenty that we know about the Havoc cast, thanks to Tudum. Here is who will star:
Tom Hardy
Tom Hardy will be the lead of Havoc.
Hardy has been in a plethora of movies recently. In the last few years, he's primarily appeared as Eddie in the Venom films, and a one-off cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but the actor has also made an impact with roles in a number of movies.
He was one of the main stars of the Mad Max: Fury Road cast and co-starred in the Leonardo DiCaprio-led movie, The Revenant. Aside from that, he's appeared in movies like The Dark Knight Rises, Black Hawk Down, Star Trek: Nemesis, This Means War, Locke, Legend, Christopher Nolan's war film, Dunkirk, The Bikeriders and more.
Hardy has appeared in a reasonable amount of television shows, too. He was a part of the cast for Band of Brothers on HBO and had a significant role in Peaky Blinders, among many other television credits.
Forest Whitaker
Forest Whitaker will co-star alongside Hardy.
The actor, who has been in the industry for decades, was seen in 2023's Extrapolations cast, Big George Foreman, The Emperor of Ocean Park and many other projects from the past such as Black Panther, Respect, Sorry to Bother You and more.
Additional Cast Members
Tudum also confirmed several other cast members that you can expect to see in Havoc. These include:
- Timothy Olyphant
- Justin Cornwell
- Xelin Mendes-Jones
- Jessie Mei Li
- Yeo Yann Yann
- Jim Caesar
- Quelin Sepulveda
- Luis Guzmán
- Sunny Pang
- Michelle Waterson
These actors have appeared in various movies and television shows over the last few years, from the underrated hit Santa Clarita Diet, to the epic fantasy show Shadow and Bone, all the way to being a part of the Wednesday cast on Netflix. Every one of them has been in some fantastic projects, and having them all in one movie excites me. Havoc already feels like a dream.
Gareth Evans Directed The Movie
Tudum also confirms that Gareth Evans directed the film. The director is primarily known for many Indonesian films, but has started to work outside of the country.
His most known movies are the crime film The Raid and its sequel, as well as Merantau, but he also directed Apostle, which was a gothic horror film, and was one of the creators of Gangs of London, a British television series.
Considering Evans has a background in crime films – and has even delved into the world of horror – I have a feeling he'll be able to keep Havoc action-packed and fun for all to watch.
Havoc Filmed From July 2021 To October 2021
The last thing we know is that filming for Havoc is done – and it has been for some time.
It was announced in July 2021 that filming had begun by The Daily Post in the United Kingdom, and then not that long after, it was confirmed in October 2021 by The Midgard Times that filming had ended. That's about a standard film shoot, so the timeline makes sense.
With a 2025 release timeframe confirmed by Netflix, hopefully we’ll be getting a trailer really soon. Until then, we'll keep an eye out for anything new.
