Kenji Tanigaki Sends The Furious Clip Ahead of June 12 Release
The Furious got a new brutal clip ahead of its theatrical premiere next week, and it keeps the film centered on immediate violence and an uneasy alliance. Kenji Tanigaki’s action thriller has already arrived with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score from its Toronto International Film Festival world premiere, so this latest footage is part of a deliberately timed push toward U.S. release.
Xie Miao and Joe Taslim
The clip shows Wang Wei and Navin fighting each other before realizing they are on the same side. Xie Miao plays Wang Wei, who sees his daughter snatched by a brutal criminal network, while Joe Taslim plays Navin, a grief-stricken journalist whose wife has vanished into the same human trafficking group.
That setup gives the film a clean commercial engine: two leads on opposite sides of the same trafficking ring, then forced into an alliance. Bill Kong is guiding the film, and Tanigaki directs it as a hard-edged action thriller rather than a slow-burn mystery.
TIFF’s 100%
The 100% Rotten Tomatoes score from the world premiere at TIFF gives the film a rare early critical landing zone before it reaches theaters. For an action title, that kind of festival result can sharpen audience interest before the opening frame is sold.
The new clip also tightens the film’s pitch. Instead of broad setup, it sells the collision point: Wang Wei and Navin first fight, then recognize they need each other to take on the trafficking group.
June 12, 2026
The Furious is set to open in U.S. theaters on June 12, 2026. With next week’s theatrical premiere approaching, this release now looks built to turn a festival-approved action film into a wider box office play.
