Dracula Untold’s Luke Evans and Resident Evil’s Milla Jovovich are staring down the apocalypse in the first trailer for Worldbreaker, and it looks messy. Directed by Brad Anderson (the twisted mind behind Session 9 and The Machinist), Worldbreaker crashes into theaters January 30, 2026, promising not just to scorch the earth, but rewrite humanity itself.
This isn’t your typical “hero saves the world” narrative, thankfully. Worldbreaker dives headfirst into the bleakest of stakes: humanity isn’t just losing the fight, it’s being fundamentally changed. The planet fractures, something called “The Stitch” rips the earth open. This causes things called Breakers crawl out, turning humans into monstrous, bloodthirsty killers. And because the universe has a sick sense of humor, it’s mostly the men who are susceptible, leaving women to pick up the pieces and fight for a future that seems increasingly impossible. Sound familiar?
At the heart of this chaos is Willa, a young girl played by Billie Boullet (The Worst Witch). She’s been raised far from the burning cities, a stark contrast to her mother, who’s battling on the front lines. Her father, a hardened veteran, has retreated with her to a remote island, turning her into a weapon through relentless training. He’s preparing her for a moment he knows is coming.
That moment arrives with a lone girl, washed ashore from a burning boat. Desperate for connection in a desolate world, Willa hides her from her father, clinging to the fragile hope of friendship. But, of course, this being a horror/thriller, the girl carries the infection, drawing the Breakers straight to their isolated refuge.
Will Brad Anderson be able to change the game with a groundbreaker feature once more? You only have to wait until January 30th, 2026, to find out.
