The first teaser trailer for Weapons, the highly anticipated next horror film from Zach Cregger (director of Barbarian), has been released, primarily appearing before screenings of Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis.

The brief teaser focuses heavily on atmosphere and dread, showing numerous "Missing" flyers featuring teenagers plastered around a seemingly ordinary small town. Set to unsettling music, it offers minimal plot details but effectively establishes a sinister tone, hinting at dark secrets beneath the surface, particularly concerning the town's youth.

Weapons, produced by New Line Cinema, is described as an "interrelated, multistory horror epic" revolving around the mysterious disappearance of high schoolers. While the teaser keeps specifics vague, it confirms the central theme of missing kids.

The film boasts a notable cast including Pedro Pascal, Renate Reinsve, and Alden Ehrenreich. Following the surprise success and clever subversions of Barbarian, expectations are high for Cregger's follow-up. Weapons is currently slated for release on January 16, 2026.
