Lionsgate has released the first official trailer for Karōshi, an upcoming 2027 action thriller starring Teo Yoo, Isabel May, Giancarlo Esposito, and Cynthia Erivo. Produced by Chad Stahelski, known for his work on the John Wick franchise, the film brings a distinctive combination of futuristic action, corporate conspiracies, and samurai-inspired combat.

Set in a near-future version of Manhattan, Karōshi explores a world where corporate loyalty and cultural traditions have transformed everyday life. The story follows a mysterious outsider who infiltrates a powerful corporation after an employee dies under troubling circumstances. As the investigation develops, he uncovers a dangerous system hiding behind the company's polished image. What initially appears to be an ordinary corporate environment gradually reveals a world of violence, manipulation, and ruthless power struggles.

The movie features an impressive ensemble cast, including Teo Yoo, Isabel May, Takehiro Hira, Show Kasamatsu, Bill Camp, Giancarlo Esposito, and Cynthia Erivo. Written and directed by Takashi Doscher, the film is produced by Chad Stahelski, Jason Spitz, Alex Young, and Nathan Kahane.

The title Karōshi comes from a Japanese term meaning death from overwork, connecting the movie's story to themes of workplace pressure, corporate exploitation, and the consequences of extreme professional demands. With its futuristic setting, intense action sequences, and intriguing premise, the film offers a fresh take on the action-thriller genre.

Karōshi is scheduled to arrive in U.S. theaters on February 5, 2027, through Lionsgate. The first trailer gives audiences an exciting preview of a dark cinematic world where corporate power meets rebellion and revenge. More Movies on Vadbav
