Onslaught film joins The Guest universe

Entities: Adam Wingard · A24 · Adria Arjona · Simon Barrett · Dan Stevens

Overview

After director Adam Wingard announced at the July 24 San Diego Comic‑Con panel that Onslaught would serve as the third installment of the loose trilogy that began with You’re Next and continued with The Guest, A24 released an official trailer on July 27. The trailer follows former Army sniper Celeste (Adria Arjona) as she battles a rogue squad of genetically engineered super‑soldiers—Crybaby, Cockroach and the Butcher—to protect her daughter. It confirms the September 4, 2026 U.S. theatrical release and reiterates that the film shares the same town as The Guest, positioning it as a spiritual sequel rather than a direct continuation. The preview also showcases the expanded cast and the film’s ultra‑violent, 80s‑style thriller tone.
