Gareth Evans, the British director who rose to fame with the acclaimed martial arts action series "The Raid," is finally set to release his long-awaited new feature film, "Havoc." After his 2018 Netflix film "Apostle" and his recent focus on producing the crime series "Gangs of London," Evans' latest project, also distributed by Netflix, has just unveiled its first promotional poster (below) and debut trailer.

Filming for "Havoc" originally wrapped in 2021, with two weeks of reshoots taking place last year. The extensive post-production process primarily accounted for the lengthy delay.
