The film titled “Weapons,” starring Josh Brolin, is now set to hit theaters ahead of the initial announcement, as Warner Bros. has decided to alter the release date.

The forthcoming horror-mystery film is being led by director Zach Cregger, acclaimed for his 2022 movie Barbarian that garnered appreciation from both critics and horror enthusiasts. Alongside Brolin, the cast of Weapons features Julia Garner, Austin Abrams, Benedict Wong, Alden Ehrenreich, and several others.

Weapons’ release date moves up to 2025 from January 2026

According to an article from The Hollywood Reporter, the release date for Josh Brolin’s film titled “Weapons” has been adjusted. The film is now set to premiere in cinemas ahead of schedule due to some alterations Warner Bros. made to their planned release timeline.

The opening date for the weapons has been moved up from January 11, 2026, to August 8, 2025.

Brolin is no less than familiar with action-oriented films. Besides portraying Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he also took on roles like Cable for Marvel’s Deadpool 2 and DC’s Jonah Hex, among other legendary characters. During an interview with Collider in May 2024, Brolin expressed his appreciation for the Weapons script, saying, “It’s a fantastic script, to begin with. The cast they’ve assembled is impressive. There are many talented individuals involved. This is one of those rare instances where I felt, ‘Alright, let’s give it a go.’ I genuinely believe it’s an exceptionally intelligent piece of writing.

In October 2024, he also addressed the media outlet. At this time, he revealed that his daughter’s admiration for Cregger’s work was what prompted him to collaborate on the project Weapons. Brolin commended Cregger by calling him an “exceptional filmmaker.

In January 2025, Julia Garner spoke about the upcoming movie “Weapons” with Collider. She described it as being somewhat like the movie “Barbarian,” but not strictly a horror film. She added, “It has a strong Zach Cregger vibe to it. I can’t wait for people to see it and hear their reactions.” It is also reported that Cregger is currently developing a new version of the “Resident Evil” movie series.
