Article Summary

  • Lionsgate drops the official trailer and poster for The Furious, drawing hype from action fans.
  • The film is earning early comparisons to The Raid after making waves on the festival circuit.
  • The Furious hits theaters in May 2026, facing competition from Backrooms and The Mandalorian and Grogu.
  • The trailer teases non-stop martial arts action, promising explosive fight sequences and high stakes.

Sometimes, there's nothing better than watching a bunch of people get their faces beaten in. That is essentially what you are getting from The Furious. The trailer, which Lionsgate just released, speaks for itself, but when one of your pull quotes cites The Raid, then you've already won over an entire group of action fans. The Furious has been making the festival rounds for a hot minute now, but Lionsgate is releasing the film into a pretty busy May 2026.

It's got to contend with the second week of The Mandalorian and Grogu, but its primary competition is likely going to come from Backrooms. While there isn't much in the way of genre overlap, the audiences most likely to check out something like Backrooms in theaters are likely the same people you're courting with The Furious. The Venn diagram of horror fans who know that Backrooms is based on an internet concept and action fans who got really excited when someone compared this to The Raid is [mostly] a single, overlapping circle. In this case, it sounds like one hell of a double feature, and you'll be supporting two smaller productions even if they both have major studio backing.
