Tom Hardy’s ‘Havoc’ Runtime Leaked: Is This Action Movie Worth the Wait?

by

We’ve been waiting four years for to team up with the director of The Raid, Gareth Evans, on the action movie . However, the latest news indicates that the wait may have been worth it. Although we’ve known the storyline and cast for quite some time, action enthusiasts have had to be patient for more details or updates. This new information might just unveil the long-awaited film’s impressive run-time.

As reported by World of Reel, several platforms such as IMDb Pro now indicate that the movie “Havoc” runs for approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. This length is consistent with Evans’ martial arts epic “The Raid 2” from 2014. If this runtime is correct, it means that Tom Hardy and Tom Evans will have ample time to deliver a potentially groundbreaking film in the genre. The Academy Award-nominee and Venom star will portray a “bruised detective” who ventures into the criminal underworld in an attempt to locate a missing politician’s son. You can find the synopsis for “Havoc” below.

Following an unfortunate incident with a drug transaction, a tenacious detective embarks on a perilous journey through the criminal underbelly, aiming to save a prominent political figure’s child. As he delves deeper, he gradually untangles a complex net of corruption and intrigue that threatens to engulf his entire metropolis.

‘Havoc’ Will Deliver on the Action, Gareth Evans Promises

Although no specific launch date has been announced for “Havoc” yet, the project is finally moving forward, as director Gareth Evans recently hinted at its release on Instagram with the statement that it will be out “Soon(ish)”. The film will see Idris Elba team up with an impressive ensemble of actors, including Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker and Timothy Olyphant, known for his roles in “Justified” and “The Mandalorian”. The rest of the supporting cast includes Xelia Mendes-Jones, Justin Cornwell, Jessie Mei Li, Yeo Yann Yann, Quelin Sepulveda, Luis Guzmán, Sunny Pang, and Michelle Waterson.

Fans of movies often get concerned when there are delays, but director Evans has eased those worries by sharing that the additional time in production significantly improved the movie. He stated to Empire magazine that this extended period allowed him to refine the film and make it into the intense, swift-moving action-thriller it was meant to be, with references to the Hong Kong cinema he admired as a child. The director further guaranteed that Havoc will prioritize delivering on the action aspect.

Regarding the film “Havoc,” featuring me alongside Tom Hardy, we certainly don’t skimp on action. That aspect is key. However, beyond the action, Tom offers an exceptionally muscular and central performance that is deeply engaging. His character is also richly developed, revealing layers of complexity beneath the surface.

His primary task is to clear up the mess, and he must maneuver through this shattered urban landscape to reach his destination before anyone else. This sets the pace for an arduous journey, and given my track record, things don’t improve for him for quite some time.
