Bill Skarsgård is out for revenge in Boy Kills World trailer

February 22, 2024 by Amie Cranswick

Lionsgate has debuted the first trailer and images for Boy Kills World, the upcoming action thriller which marks the feature directorial debut for Moritz Mohr.

The film stars Bill Skarsgård, as Boy, a man who was left orphaned, deaf and voiceless when his family were brutally murdered when he was a child. After training with a mysterious shaman (Ruhian), Boy is led by his inner voice on a bloody path of revenge. Watch the trailer below…

 

Bill Skarsgård stars as “Boy” who avows revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda Van Der Koy (Famke 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 (Yayan 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.

Joining Skarsgård in the cast are Jessica Rothe, Michelle Dockery, Brett Gelman, Isaiah Mustafa, Yayan Ruhian, Andrew Koji, Sharlto Copley and Famke Janssen, and featuring the voice talents of H. Jon Benjamin.

Boy Kills World arrives in cinemas on April 26th.
