Hardcore (2025) is an upcoming sci-fi action thriller directed by Adam Wingard, based on the comic series by Robert Kirkman and Marc Silvestri. The story follows Agent Drake, an elite operative of the Hardcore Program—a covert government initiative that enables agents to remotely hijack and control any human body to carry out high-risk missions. When the program is compromised, Drake finds himself trapped in a host body with only 72 hours to uncover the perpetrator and prevent a global catastrophe.

Wingard, known for his work on “Godzilla vs. Kong” and “The Guest,” co-writes the screenplay with Will Simmons, bringing a blend of intense action and psychological intrigue to the film. The adaptation promises a high-octane narrative that explores themes of identity, control, and the ethical implications of advanced technology. With Kirkman’s involvement in the story development, fans can anticipate a faithful yet innovative translation of the comic’s gripping storyline to the big screen.
