Directed by Ángel Manuel Soto and written by Jonathan Tropper, The Wrecking Crew promises to deliver spectacular humor with a brotherly conflict that drives its emotional core.

“I got to spend some time with Jason offset and realized he's just such a fun guy, and our energies are so different. We just don't clash. He's super high energy. I'm super low energy, which it just works. It works in real life. It works on film," said Dave Bautista on their yin-yang on-screen dynamic and strong off-screen bond, in a global virtual press conference, per Aloha State Daily.

With its star-studded cast, a partnership that fans have been waiting for with bated breath, and an action-packed storyline, The Wrecking Crew is set to arrive on Prime Video on January 27, 2026, to be available for streaming worldwide.
