Apple TV releases trailer for Way of the Warrior Kid starring Chris Pratt

Apple Original Films has released the trailer for “Way of the Warrior Kid,” an upcoming film scheduled to premiere globally on Apple TV on November 25, 2026. Directed by McG and written by Will Staples, the movie is based on the bestselling novel by former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink.

The story follows Marc (Jude Hill), a middle school student struggling with academic performance, social integration, and bullying. His life changes when his uncle Jake (Chris Pratt), a decorated but injured former Navy SEAL, comes to stay for the summer to recover. To help Marc build confidence and resilience, Jake implements a training program called “Operation Warrior Kid,” inspired by his military background.

Rather than focusing strictly on combat, the film emphasizes the development of discipline and true courage. The cast includes Linda Cardellini as Marc’s mother, Sarah, and features Jocko Willink in a supporting role. The production is a collaboration between Apple and Skydance Media.
