Overview

• The Long Walk has entered its final post-production phase and is scheduled to hit theaters on September 12, 2025.
• Mark Hamill portrays a ruthless, sociopathic Major whose sadistic enforcement of the walking contest is designed to provoke audience loathing.
• Co-stars kept interactions minimal with Hamill during shooting, with some choosing not to meet him until after their scenes to amplify the Major’s threat.
• After wrapping in Winnipeg, the actors forged genuine camaraderie through off-camera rituals like weekly Dairy Queen runs and post-shoot gatherings.
• At San Diego Comic-Con, director Francis Lawrence and the ensemble emphasized the film’s blend of visceral horror and the emotional bond among competitors.
