Kill Team is a 2026 American epic science fiction action film written, co-produced and directed by Neill Blomkamp, based on the novel of the same name by Jason Anspach and Nick Cole. It is a sequel to Galactic Outlaws and is the third installment in the Galaxy's Edge film series. The film stars Vin Diesel, Liv Tyler, James Marsden, Jordana Brewster, Harrison Ford, Eva Green, Tyrese Gibson, Laurence Fishburne, Kristen Bell, and Tika Sumpter. Kill Team had its world premiere at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival on February 1st, 2026, and was released 5 days later. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and fans but was panned by audiences. Critics praised the film for its cast, mature tone, action sequences, Blomkamp's direction, visual effects, cinematography, respect to its source material, Bear McCreary's musical score, and emotional weight, but criticized the dialogue, storyline, pacing, and overuse of the alien characterization. It was also a financial success like its predecessors, grossing $946 million worldwide. A sequel entitled Attack of Shadows was released back-to-back in 2026, to critical and financial flop, while another back-to-back sequel entitled Legionnaire: Legends Never Die was released months after the released of the fourth film.
