Amazon MGM Studios has unveiled the first trailer for The Wrecking Crew, their action comedy starring Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa, which is slated for release on Prime Video on January 28.
Directed by Blue Beetle helmer Ángel Manuel Soto, and set in the streets of Hawaii, the film watches as two estranged half-brothers, Jonny (Momoa) and James (Bautista), reluctantly reunite after their father’s mysterious death. As they set out to uncover the truth, buried secrets resurface and loyalties are tested, unveiling a conspiracy that can tear their family apart. Together, they are ready to wreck anything that gets in their way.
The trailer opens with the duo being dressed down by a detective played by Barry alum Stephen Root.
“This doesn’t happen here every day,” Root tells them. “I can’t have two guys who look like they eat steroid pancakes for breakfast turning my island into Beirut!”
We subsequently learn that the Yakuza wants the guys dead, as old tensions flare up between them.
“You just stir up trouble. That’s what you do!” says Bautista’s James.
“That’s what I do,” says Momoa’s Jonny, “because I’m a cop.”
“Not here, you’re not!” James retorts.
The pair also disagree on the cause of their father’s recent death — James think it was a simple hit-and-run, but Jonny isn’t so sure. They ultimately agree it was a murder and set out on a mission of vengeance, with Root’s detective warning them, “I guarantee you’ll end up poking a bear… that doesn’t want to be poked.”
Bautista’s James, however, says, “Take my word for it when I tell you… that I’m the bear.”
The Wrecking Crew also stars Claes Bang, Jacob Batalon, and Morena Baccarin. Jonathan Tropper wrote the script with Jeff Fierson, Momoa, Bautista, Matt Reeves, and Lynn Harris producing. Check out the film’s trailer above
