Weapons Cast: Here's Where You Recognise The Stars Of The Hit Film
Filmmaker Zach Cregger on the set of Weapons with cast member Julia GarnerBetween Sinners, 28 Years Later and Bring Her Back, 2025 is shaping up to be another frightfully good year for horror.However, it’s Weapons, the new movie from Barbarian director Zach Cregger, that looks like it’s shaping up to be the most out-there thriller of the year.The premise of the film sounds like a relatively simple one, with the story picking up after all but one child from the same classroom mysteriously got out of bed and vanished into the darkness on the same night, at the exact same time, with no leads as to where they’ve gone or why.If you’ve now seen the film, you probably found yourself wondering where you recognise one or two of the main cast from. And if that was the case, hopefully we can jog your memory...Julia GarnerJulia Garner in OzarkJulia Garner is best known for playing Ruth Langmore in the Netflix crime drama series Ozark, for which she has won three Emmys.Her other biggest TV roles include Netflix’s Inventing Anna, The Americans and Waco. She’s also delivered some of her most hard-hitting movie performances collaborating with indie director Kitty Green on The Assistant and The Royal Hotel.Her latest role before Weapons was playing the Silver Surfer in this year’s The Fantastic Four: The First Steps (in fact, her co-star Pedro Pascal was originally supposed to be in Weapons before he was forced to pull out).Josh BrolinJosh Brolin played Thanos in the Avengers moviesAfter many decades on our screens, you’ll no doubt have watched Josh Brolin in a wide array of genres. However, in the more recent chapter of his career, he’s probably best known for playing Thanos in the Avengers movies.He has also appeared in the Oscar-winning No Country For Old Men and landed an Academy Award nod of his own in the supporting role of Dan White in the 2008 Milk.Josh’s other major projects include the 2020s Dune movies, True Grit, Deadpool 2 and the TV series Outer Range.And if you want to go allll the way back, he also famously played Brand in the Goonies, the oldest member of the gang.Austin AbramsAustin Abrams in EuphoriaAustin started to experience a mainstream breakthrough after playing survivor Ron Anderson in seasons five and six of The Walking Dead.But you might recognise him better for playing Ethan Lewis in both seasons of Euphoria, who goes on to date Barbie Ferreira’s character, Kat Hernandez.He’s also been in Do Revenge, Gangster Squad, Paper Towns and Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark.Alden EhrenreichAlden Ehrenreich in Solo: A Star Wars StoryUS actor Alden Ehrenreich has experienced a pretty impressive rise over the past decade, first standing out as a promising rising star when he was cast as a young Han Solo in Ron Howard’s 2018 movie Solo: A Star Wars Story.He was also in the Coen Brothers’ 2016 comedy-mystery movie Hail, Caesar!, along with a string of name-making roles in Cocaine Bear, Fair Play, Oppenheimer and the Marvel tv series Ironheart.Benedict WongBenedict Wong in the latest Doctor Strange filmBenedict Wong is one of those actors who feels like he’s in just about everything. And to be fair, he’s managed to rack up some pretty impressive blockbuster appearances over the years.His Marvel credits alone include Avengers: Endgame, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings and more.Outside of the MCU, he also been in TV shows 3 Body Problem, Top Boy, and Marco Polo, along with movies like Annihilation, The Martian and Prometheus.Amy MadiganAmy Madigan in Grey's AnatomyAmy Madigan first rose to fame in the 1980s with films like Field Of Dreams starring Kevin Costner, along with her Oscar-nominated performance in Twice In A Lifetime and her Golden Globe-winning role in the 1989 movie Roe vs. Wade.More recently, you might have watched her in Antlers, Penny Dreadful: City Of Angels and American Woman.Grey’s Anatomy fans will also remember her as Dr. Katharine Wyatt in nine episodes across seasons four, five and six.Cary ChristopherAt just nine years old, Cary Christopher is already an Emmy nominee, bagging recognition in the Outstanding Younger Performer In A Daytime Drama series back in 2023 for his work in the long-running US soap Days Of Our Lives.He’s also been in the TV series including The Rookie, Mr. Mom and High Potential.But one of Cary’s most prolific roles unfortunately ended up on the cutting room floor, after he played an uncredited role as a young Joseph Mankiewicz in David Fincher’s movie Mank.Weapons is in cinemas now.READ MORE:Weapons Director Reveals Personal Meaning Behind The Film's Dramatic FinaleWeapons Director Weighs In On The 1 Scene Viewers Are Still Trying To Make Sense OfCould There Be A Weapons Sequel?
