The Skarsgård family has cemented an acting dynasty with careers from Stellan, Alexander, Gustaf, Valter, and Bill. In recent years, Bill has become a huge star, best known for his role as Pennywise the Clown in the 2017 and 2019 adaptations of the epic Stephen King horror novel IT. Along with parts in Atomic Blonde and John Wick: Chapter 4, he’s certainly no stranger to the action-revenge sub-genre, which is why he’s such a perfect fit for the upcoming movie Boy Kills World…

Boy Kills World movie trailer
Boy Kills World is an upcoming action thriller movie and will serve as the directorial feature debut of filmmaker Moritz Mohr.
It’s produced by Sam Raimi (Spider-Man, Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness) and stars Bill as the titular Boy, hellbent on exacting revenge after his family is murdered by Hilda van der Koy (Famke Janssen, X-Men).
Her ruthless actions left him without a voice, deaf and orphaned in the jungle. There, he’s trained by a shaman (Yayan Ruhian, The Raid) to become an extremely powerful fighter.

Now a killing machine, he leaves the jungle and begins to use his new skills to take out those who have wronged him, also falling in with a group of rebellious resistance fighters who oppose the van der Koys.
Although voiceless, his inner voice is one that he’s adopted from a video game he loved as a kid, and honestly, the trailer teases nothing short of absolute insanity. It’s easily the craziest movie trailer I’ve seen so far this year.
“This feels more like a Borderlands movie than the Borderlands movie,” a viewer joked in reaction to the trailer.
