Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista's trailer for 'The Wrecking Crew' dropped earlier, revealing new footage. The film follows half-brothers, Jonny and James (Momoa and Bautista), who arrive in Hawaii to investigate the murder of their father. Things take a drastic turn as they uncover a conspiracy.

The clip begins with the Yakuza hot on the pair's heels, and mayhem ensues with gunfire and exploding vehicles. The trailer later pans to Jonny, who feels his father was not murdered, leading the organization to put him on their radar. Teaming up with James, the pair navigate enough on their mission to unravel the death of their father.

The logline reads, "Estranged half-brothers Jonny and James reunite after their father's mysterious death. As they search for the truth, buried secrets reveal a conspiracy threatening to tear their family apart. The Wrecking Crew stars Dave Bautista, Jason Momoa, Claes Bang, Temuera Morrison, Jacob Batalon, Frankie Adams, and more. The film is directed by Angel Manuel Soto and written by Jonathan Tropper."

Earlier, Soto teased the characters during his interview with Esquire: "Johnny’s more nihilistic and heavily relies on alcohol. His life’s a mess,” says Soto. “And you have Dave, who is this GI with a perfect family. He’s super tough. ... They’re both masks." He also shed light on the script.

"Investigating their father's death, that’s the cathartic thing,” Soto added. "And, of course, the sibling rivalry and the issues they have are ripe for humor, for comedy. But when I read a script, I try to see three avenues: You have the plot, you have emotion, and then maybe you have, ‘What’s this saying about the world? What commentary are we making?'" Jason brings this wild, crazy, unpredictable side,” Soto says. “And Dave brings this disciplined, methodical, slow-burning intensity to him. And well, they’re both big. They have a lot of gravity. As men, they couldn’t be more different from each other. So what you see in the movie is not that different from the way they are in real life."
