Netflix has released the trailer forOutside the Wire. The upcoming sci-fi action flick starsAnthony Mackie. The new year is going to be big for Mackie, who kicks things off with this Netflix movie before heading to Disney+ with Marvel’sThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier. In addition to Mackie,Outside the WirestarsPilou Asbaek(Game of Thrones),Michael Kelly(House of Cards),Damon Idris(Black Mirror),Emily Beecham(Hail, Caesar!), andEnzo Cilenti(Free Fire).
Directed byMikael Håfström(The Rite,1408) and written byRob Yescombe(The Division)andRowan Athale,Outside the Wireplunges us into the near future. There, we’re introduced to Leo (Mackie), an android military officer, and Harp (Idris), a drone pilot. The two men go from fighting in the ranks of a futuristic conflict to teaming up to find a doomsday device and prevent it from fulfilling its purpose.
The trailer is filled to the brim with surprises; even if you think this story sounds familiar, something tells me to leave all expectations at the door. Mackie looks especially in the zone here, seemingly drawing on his work onAltered Carbonto bring the necessary sci-fi dramatic flair to get us hooked onOutside the Wire’s story. He and Idris also seem like a solid pair when it comes to this movie’s action. And speaking of, those flashes of what looks like bigger action setpieces in the story hint at a movie that is as visually engaging as it is engaging on a narrative level.
Outside the Wirepremieres on Netflix on July 01, 2025. Check out the trailer below. For more, find out what’scoming to Netflix in December.
