Primed for a Midnight Madness premiere as part of the Toronto International Film Festival in September, director Timo Tjahjanto already has fans foaming for his pending work on the sequel to 2021’s Nobody. At long last though, his latest completed effort now gets a release date in the coming months with The Shadow Strays, signaling folks with a fresh and piping hot new teaser now out and about.

Codenamed 13, a 17-year-old trained assassin is currently suspended due to a sloppy mission in Japan. Meeting Monji, an 11-year-old boy who lost his mother to a crime syndicate, awakened her conscience. When Monji is captured, 13 is hell-bent on rescuing him, setting off a path of destruction and defying her mentor and the organization that hires her, known as the Shadow.

I can only imagine what could have been if Tjahjanto had his way and made sequels to two of his previous action titles. For so many there’s still a world to build from The Night Comes For Us and The Big 4 was not without its share of potency. Maybe The Shadow Strays is just another building block in that endeavor? Or, maybe I’m just overthinking it.

The Shadow Strays stars Aurora Ribero, Hanna Malasan, Kristo Immanuel, and Adipati Dolken. Catch the teaser!
