Warfare Release Date Set for Alex Garland & Ray Mendoza’s Iraq War Movie

A24 has officially announced the Warfare release date, revealing when the upcoming war film from Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza will come out.

When is the Warfare release date?

According to a recent report from Deadline, the Warfare release date has been set for April 11, 2025. The upcoming movie is based on Ray Mendoza’s experiences during the Iraq War as a former U.S. Navy Seal.

Warfare stars Will Poulter, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Cosmo Jarvis, Joseph Quinn, Charles Melton, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, Taylor John Smith, Michael Gandolfini, and more. Woon-A-Tai will be portraying Mendoza in the film.

Prior to Civil War, which is now streaming on Max, Garland directed 2014’s Ex Machina, 2018’s Annihilation, and 2022’s Men, all of which were released through A24. He was also an uncredited director on 2012’s Dredd and worked on the screenplays for 2002’s 28 Days Later, 2007’s Sunshine, and 2010’s Neve Let Me Go.

Additionally, Garland wrote the screenplay for Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later, which hits theaters on June 20, 2025. He is also the writer of the 28 Years Later sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which is set to release on January 16, 2026.

“Written and directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland (Civil War, 28 Days Later), Warfare embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory. A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it,” says the synopsis.
