A24 has come out on top of an auction to pick up Onslaught, an action thriller directed by Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire filmmaker Adam Wingard, which he’s co-writing with frequent collaborator Simon Barrett.

The Hollywood Reporter writes that the feature will have a scope more in line with his early movies, which were all original creations. Details for Onslaught are being kept top secret, but sources describe it as a “gonzo action horror thriller”. The project is expected to begin filming this autumn, so Legendary MonsterVerse fans will have to wait a while before Wingard gets back to the kaiju action. Though Wingard does not yet have a deal to return for a third Godzilla/Kong outing, sources suggest it remains very likely he’ll be tapped for an upcoming film. Onslaught will, however, be his next project.

Wingard and Barrett previously made the cult hits You’re Next and The Guest together.

Aaron Ryder and Andrew Swett will produce Onslaught under their Ryder Picture Company banner alongside A24, and Alexander Black for Lyrical Media. Wingard and manager Jeremy Platt will also produce, via their new company Breakaway Civilization, along with Barrett.

Stay tuned for further updates on the synopsis, cast, and potential release date as we hear it!
