Metro Z: Jason Statham Battles the Undead Underground
Metro Z is an adrenaline-fueled zombie action film that brings Jason Statham face-to-face with a new kind of apocalypse — one buried beneath the city streets. Set for release in 2025, the film promises a relentless, claustrophobic ride through an infected underground rail system where survival is measured in seconds.
Statham stars as Jack Mercer, a former special forces operative turned metro engineer, who finds himself trapped in a vast network of subway tunnels as a deadly viral outbreak transforms passengers into ravenous undead predators. With the city in chaos above, Mercer must lead a group of survivors through collapsing passageways, derailed trains, and hordes of fast-moving infected.
Unlike sprawling zombie blockbusters, Metro Z narrows the focus, locking its characters in a labyrinth of concrete and steel. The confined setting amplifies the tension. Every dark corner hides a threat. Every broken light flickers over a moment of dread.
The trailer teases brutal close-quarters combat as Statham’s character uses improvised weapons, environmental traps, and sheer grit to fight back. From intense hand-to-hand brawls in abandoned stations to nerve-wracking chases through flooded tunnels, the action feels raw and grounded.
Beyond the carnage, the story hints at a deeper conspiracy. The virus was no accident, and Mercer’s past may hold the key to its origins. As alliances form and fracture, the film explores themes of trust, sacrifice, and the fight to hold onto humanity when surrounded by monsters — human and otherwise.
Metro Z is poised to be a pulse-pounding addition to the zombie genre, combining relentless action with Jason Statham’s signature toughness. It’s not just a fight for survival; it’s a descent into a city’s forgotten veins where escape is never guaranteed.
