Josh Brolin glares off-screen as Matthew Kensington in 2000's Hollow Man

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Josh Brolin provides his strong endorsement of the upcoming horror film Weapons. The horror film is the next film from Barbarian director Zach Cregger. The 2022 horror film Barbarian was a success both critically and commercially, wowing audiences with its suspense and originality.

I really liked his first movie, but it’s still new for him and all that. Then I met him a couple of times and we talked through what he was thinking. It’s a really good script, first of all. He’s put together a really good cast, especially now - Julia Garner, who I love, and Alden , who’s great, who I did Hail, Caesar! with. There’s a lot of really good people involved. This was one of the few times when I finally went, ‘Okay, let’s do this.

Who Is In the Cast of Weapons? Brolin joined the Weapons cast after the lead role had originally gone to The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal. From the sounds of his quote, it seems like Brolin is immensely happy that he did so, as he called the script “brilliant” more than once. Weapons is also an exciting return-to-form for Brolin, whose career took off initially in the horror genre, with films like Mimic.

In addition to Brolin, the cast of Weapons includes Julia Garner, Benedict Wong, Alden Ehrenreich, Amy Madigan, Austin Abrams, and Cary Christopher. Garner and Wong both are seasoned and talented actors. Garner is best known for her Emmy-nominated role in Ozark, whereas Wong’s notable filmography includes work like Annihilation, Doctor Strange, and The Martian. As Brolin mentions, Ehrenreich and him are former collaborators on the lavish Coen brothers film Hail, Caesar!.

The exact roles that these actors play in Weapons are as of yet unknown. Younger actors such as Abrams will probably play some of the missing high school students, or their friends. Brolin, Garner, or Wong could all be playing parents of some of the high school students that are missing, or some other community members. As a horror film with multiple intertwining stories, Weapons is likely to be an ensemble piece and luckily, it already has a great cast to support that.
