Gareth Evans' ‘Havoc' Finally Wraps 3-Year Production

Back in February, when Netflix announced its 2024 slate, Gareth Evans’ “Havoc,” shot in 2021, was notably absent. What is going on with this film?

There’s been a lot of speculation about the reasons for the delays. Whatever the case may be, Evans has announced that reshoots have been completed and that the film is now set for “5-6 months” of post-production work. A release during the first quarter of 2025 is being eyed (via Instagram).

That’s a wrap on additional photography for Havoc. Massive thanks to cast and crew for their support and hard work over the past 2 weeks. Next up…. 5-6 months of post (editing, VFX, color, sound) so we can make everything nice and shiny and loud ready for what will hopefully be a Q1 release next year. No trailer, promo materials will be released before the film is finalised and mastered so in a bid to temper expectations - don’t expect anything before the new year. Until then, excuse me while I crack on with work, posting about other people’s movies (do go see Longlegs!) and the occasional snap of my Labrador.

“Havoc,” which wrapped production in October 2021, stars Tom Hardy, Forest Whitaker, Luis Guzman, and Timothy Olyphant. Evans is the filmmaker behind both ‘Raid’ films, 2018’s “Apostle” and the 2020 series “Gangs of London.” He’s well-known for his visceral and blood-soaked style of filmmaking.

There’s also been barely any details about the plot of “Havoc,” just a synopsis that was released before production began in July 2021.

After a drug deal goes awry, a detective must fight his way through a criminal underworld to rescue a politician’s estranged son, while untangling his city’s dark web of conspiracy and corruption.
