Drew Starkey is cementing himself as one of the most in-demand actors of the moment—and with another A24 project, no less. Fresh of the success of Luca Guadagnino's Queer, the actor has landed a role in yet another A24 film, Onslaught, which is reportedly of the action-thriller variety.

Below, everything you need to know.
What is Onslaught about?
At this stage, most details about the film—including the extent of Starkey's involvement—are still under wraps. Early reports suggest that the film will follow a mother, who “falls back on a particular set of skills in order to protect her loved ones after she runs afoul of a threat that has escaped a secret military base." As for how Starkey fits into this plot, we'll just have to wait and see, but for any Outer Banks fans, we know he is well versed in the action genre.
Who else is involved in Onslaught?
Joining Starkey is Adria Arjona, Dan Stevens and UFC Champion Alex “Poatan” Pereira.
Behind the scenes, the film is being directed by Adam Wingard, who was responsible for cult classics like The Guest and You're Next. The writer of these films, Simon Barrett, is also on board for Onslaught, so we'd hazard that they'll have more than a few similarities.
When does Onslaught come out?
According to reports, shooting is set to begin this November in New Mexico. If all goes well, we're hoping to see Onslaught hit our screens in late 2026, but we'll keep you updated when an official premiere date is confirmed.
In the meantime, why not get acquainted with he man himself, with everything we know about Drew Starkey. And be sure to head to the cinema's to check out his latest film, Queer, with Daniel Craig.
