The first trailer has officially dropped for the action–comedy film London Calling, starring Josh Duhamel as Tommy Ward—a down-on-his-luck hitman suddenly tasked with babysitting the son of his crime boss. The movie premieres in theaters on September 19, 2025, via Quiver Distribution.
Plot
On the run after a botched job in the UK, hitman Tommy Ward reconnects with new crime boss Benson Abrams (Rick Hoffman). Benson insists Tommy mentor his sensitive son Julian (Jeremy Ray Taylor) in the art of “becoming a man”—leading to an odd-couple dynamic throughout their latest high-stakes caper.
As Tommy reluctantly bonds with Julian, the film teases unexpectedly tender moments amid comedic action, challenging the hitman’s hardened exterior.
Trailer highlights include playful banter and uneasy mentoring, with Tommy’s cynical guidance clashing with Julian’s accidental assassin instincts (thanks to Fortnite training!).
As described by film critics, the trailer blends “loud, irreverent—and strangely tender” moments, walking a tonal line between action comedy and heartfelt drama.
Cast & Production
Josh Duhamel takes the lead as Tommy Ward, Jeremy Ray Taylor co-stars as Julian, and Rick Hoffman and Aidan Gillen, among others, also make appearances.

London Calling’s debut trailer offers a compelling mix of action, humor, and heartfelt moments—anchored by Josh Duhamel’s chemistry with young co-star Jeremy Ray Taylor. With a chilly attitude but warm core, this September comedy-thriller is shaping up to be a standout late-summer release.
