Aside from the most recent TV spot, this is the first time we are seeing scenes of John Boyega’s character, a black police officer, being interrogated. It is also the first trailer in which we see Samira Wiley (Orange is the New Black, The Handmaids Tale).

 

 

The feature, Oscar-winning director Bigelow’s tenth as a director, is financed by Annapurna Pictures. It’s also on the S&A Oscar 2018 predictions list.
