The Wrecking Crew

Jonny and James, estranged half-brothers, are pulled back into each other's lives after their father's sudden, unexplained death. They meet under a cloud of resentment and shared grief, and what begins as a grudging visit turns into an active search for answers. As they track leads, interrogate old acquaintances, and follow a messy trail of clues, their different skills and temperaments clash and complement one another. The investigation keeps flipping between comic misunderstandings and tense, action-heavy confrontations, and every lead adds another layer of family secrets. They trade barbs, with each choice often threatening to expose truths that topple their lives.

Directed by Ángel Manuel Soto and created by Jonathan Tropper, The Wrecking Crew mixes action and comedy, starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista, with supporting turns from Claes Bang, Temuera Morrison and Jacob Batalon, and it premiered theatrically in 2026.

Official box office totals and detailed earnings weren't widely published at the time of writing, and distributors' staggered rollouts meant reliable worldwide gross figures weren't available until after the film completes its international run, and analysts will update databases accordingly.

Trailers and early set photos emphasized the chemistry between Momoa and Bautista, generating strong online chatter. Fans compared the pairing to classic buddy-action duos, and stunt clips circulated among action communities. Cosplay and fan art began appearing, signaling a lively fan response even before wider critical assessment on social media.

Early critical response was limited and audience scores were still forming, but commentary highlighted the leads' chemistry and the film's mix of explosive set pieces with self-aware humor. The Wrecking Crew centers on fractured family dynamics, loyalty, the fallout of hidden choices, and how identity is shaped by inherited legacies.
