First Trailer for ‘The Wrecking Crew’ Released — Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa Star in Thriller About Brothers Seeking Justice
The first trailer for The Wrecking Crew is finally here, giving fans a glimpse at the action-packed story starring Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista. The film, set to hit Amazon Prime Video on January 28, 2026, follows two half-brothers who must team up to solve the mystery behind their father’s murder in Hawaii.
Directed by Ángel Manuel Soto and written by Jonathan Tropper, The Wrecking Crew is described as a buddy cop action comedy. Momoa plays Jonny, a wild and unpredictable cop, while Bautista portrays James, a disciplined Navy SEAL. Together, they must put aside 20 years of bad blood to unravel a dangerous conspiracy.

The cast also includes Claes Bang, Temuera Morrison, Jacob Batalon, Frankie Adams, Miyavi, Stephen Root, and Morena Baccarin, among others. Tragically, the film will mark the final acting role of David Hekili Kenui Bell, who passed away in June. Bell previously appeared in the live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch, alongside co-star Maia Kealoha.
According to reports, the project originated from an idea by Tropper, Momoa, and Bautista. MGM won the rights to the film after a four-way bidding war in 2021. Early on, David Leitch was set to direct, with locations scouted in Hawaii, but scheduling conflicts led to Ángel Manuel Soto joining the project in August 2023. Principal photography began in October 2024 in Hawaii and New Zealand.
The film’s score is composed by Bobby Krlic, who previously collaborated with Soto on Blue Beetle.
Fans can now see Momoa and Bautista in action in the first trailer, which showcases the intense and humorous dynamic between the two brothers as they navigate crime, danger, and family drama.
This movie looks like it will mix thrilling action with comedy and family drama, and the trailer has already generated excitement online. With its star-studded cast and high-stakes plot, The Wrecking Crew could be one of the first big hits of 2026.
