The first trailer for Elevation, a thrilling new sci-fi action film starring Anthony Mackie, has dropped—and it’s packed with monster-fueled mayhem. Directed by George Nolfi (The Adjustment Bureau), the film transports viewers to a post-apocalyptic Rocky Mountains, where Mackie’s character leads a perilous mission to protect a young boy from terrifying alien creatures.
Set to hit theaters on November 8, Elevation sees Mackie playing a single father who, alongside two women portrayed by Morena Baccarin (Deadpool) and Maddie Hasson (Malignant), ventures into a world overrun by these new apex predators. The trailer gives a glimpse of the intense action, showcasing the trio’s struggle for survival against towering, otherworldly monsters. In one of the trailer’s most chilling moments, Baccarin’s character grimly states, “We’re not meant to share the planet with those things,” alluding to the extraterrestrial nature of their enemies.
The film was written by John Glenn, Jacob Roman, and Kenny Ryan, with Nolfi—also known for penning The Bourne Ultimatum—in the director’s seat. This marks Nolfi’s third collaboration with Mackie, following their work on 2020’s The Banker. Rounding out the cast is Tony Goldwyn (Scandal) and Danny Boyd (Bruised).
The trailer teases breathtaking visuals and heart-pounding action as Mackie’s character navigates dangerous terrain, leading his group beyond the boundaries of safety to confront the deadly creatures that have taken over the Earth. As the November 8 release date approaches, Elevation promises to deliver a nail-biting, action-packed experience, with its blend of sci-fi thrills and monstrous adversaries.
In addition to Elevation, Mackie is set to reprise his role in Captain America: Brave New World next year, while Baccarin will return in Deadpool & Wolverine. For now, fans can catch a glimpse of what’s in store by watching the first Elevation trailer—a preview of the intense battles and survival instincts needed to face an alien threat.
Catch Elevation in theaters nationwide this November and brace yourself for an exhilarating sci-fi spectacle.
