Lords of War trailer released for Nicolas Cage sequel
A trailer has been released for Lords of War, the sequel to the 2005 crime thriller Lord of War. Directed and written by Andrew Niccol, the film marks the return of Nicolas Cage as arms dealer Yuri Orlov.
The plot follows Orlov as he discovers he has a son, Anton, played by Bill Skarsgård. Unlike his father, Anton is a ruthless mercenary designer who seeks to surpass Orlov by building a private army and exploiting American conflicts in the Middle East. This creates a deadly rivalry between father and son over legacy and power.
Production for the film took place in several locations, including Belgium, Morocco, Hungary, Libya, Egypt, Senegal, and Mali. Vertical has acquired the U.S. distribution rights, with a theatrical release scheduled for January 2027.
