Netflix’s K.O. Trailer Reveals Explosive Action Thriller with MMA Star June 2025

by

If you’ve enjoyed the pulse-pounding action thrillers directed by Gareth Evans, such as “The Raid” and his latest, “Havoc,” then Netflix has something exciting lined up for you! In the same vein, they have just released the first trailer for their upcoming action film titled “K.O..” This movie features a man with unique combat skills on a rescue mission, which you can watch in the trailer below.

In “K.O.”, directed by Antoine Blossier (Prey), Ciryl Gane stars as a mixed martial arts fighter who inadvertently kills his opponent in the ring. Seeking redemption, he is approached by the widow of his deceased opponent to help save her troubled teenage son from a group of nefarious criminals. Alongside Gane, the cast includes Alice Belaïdi, Faued Nabba, Maleaume Paquin, Anne Azoulay, Ibrahima Keita, Samuel Jouy, and Virgile Bramly. To learn more about this action-packed drama, check out the trailer and official synopsis provided below.

As a fervent supporter, I find myself compelled to share the story of Bastien (Ciryl Gane). This remarkable man, scarred by an unfortunate incident three years prior during an MMA fight where his opponent, Enzo, tragically lost his life, has chosen solitude ever since.

However, fate, or perhaps destiny, brings a new challenge to him. Enzo’s grieving widow seeks him out, pleading for assistance in a mission that seems insurmountable: finding Léo (Maleaume Paquin), her missing teenage son, who has vanished into the labyrinthine northern districts of Marseille. In this moment, Bastien becomes more than just a recluse; he becomes her last glimmer of hope.

In the course of his search, Bastien encounters Kenza – played by Alice Belaïdi, a determined police officer – who’s willing to go to great lengths to take down the emerging criminal masters of Marseille. The situation for Léo is critical, and every moment counts.

‘K.O.’ Hits Netflix on June 6, 2025

Netflix is gearing up to debut “K.O.” on June 6, 2025, next month. The sneak peek promises everything that a fan of action or the Taken series could ask for from a martial arts thriller. Lately, Netflix has been shining in the action movie category, with hits like the critically praised “Rebel Ridge,” the brutally violent “The Shadow Strays,” the new holiday favorite “Carry-On,” the climactic “Last Bullet,” and the captivating “Exterritorial” winning over fans of the genre worldwide.

Fans of action thrillers were long awaiting the release of “Havoc”, a film that took years to develop. Featuring Academy Award-nominee Tom Hardy, who starred in “Mad Max: Fury Road”, and directed by Gareth Evans, the man behind “The Raid” and “The Raid 2”, “Havoc” tells the story of a detective with a questionable past. This character is thrust into the heart of the criminal underworld as he endeavors to rescue a politician’s son from danger.

This exciting excursion features an outstanding ensemble starring Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker, known for “Justified,” along with Timothy Olyphant from the same series, as well as Justin Cornwell (“The Umbrella Academy” and “Bel-Air”), Jessie Mei Li (“Last Night in Soho” and “Shadow and Bone”), Yeo Yann Yann (“American Born Chinese”), Quelin Sepulveda (“Good Omens”), Luis Guzmán (“Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F”), Sunny Pang (“Headshot”), and Michelle Waterson (“Fright Night”). Despite some differing opinions, audiences were eager to witness Hardy’s mayhem, resulting in the film taking the top spot and garnering 29.8 million views during its premiere week.
