Action star Frank Grillo is set to take on lycanthropes in his upcoming movie Werewolves, scheduled for release on December 6, 2024.
Known for his roles in The Purge series and the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Brock Rumlow/Crossbones, Grillo will be joined by Katrina Law (NCIS), Ilfenesh Hadera (Godfather Of Harlem), James Michael Cummings (City On The Hill), and Lou Diamond Phillips (Prodigal Son).
