Bill Skarsgård gets in on the bloody action-movie goodness in the first look at Boy Kills World, and it looks all kinds of insane—in a good way.
If Boy Kills World wasn’t already on your radar, this trailer should definitely put it on there.
Man this looks nuts! Seeing Bill Skarsgård kick-ass while Bob’s Burgers lends his voice to it all. It’s beautiful. Combine that with the cool premise and intense looking action, and this looks like it could be a fun Spring surprise in theaters. Between this and Monkey Man, there’s some great action to look forward to!
Skarsgård stars as “Boy” who vows revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy (Janssen), the deranged matriarch of a corrupt post-apocalyptic dynasty that left the boy orphaned, deaf and voiceless. Driven by his inner voice, one which he co-opted from his favorite childhood video game, Boy trains with a mysterious shaman (Ruhian) to become an instrument of death and is set loose on the eve of the annual culling of dissidents. Bedlam ensues as Boy commits bloody martial arts mayhem, inciting a wrath of carnage and blood-letting. As he tries to get his bearings in this delirious realm, Boy soon falls in with a desperate resistance group, all the while bickering with the apparent ghost of his rebellious little sister.
Boy Kills World is set to hit theaters on April 26, 2024.
