It is the first installment in the Crimson Huntress franchise. The film stars Cara Delevingne alongside Thandiwe Newton, Isabella Sermon, Andrew Lincoln, 50 Cent, Lucas Black, Josh Hartnett, Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, and James Woods.

The Crimson Huntress opened in theaters on November 25th, 2027; the film received generally positive reviews and was a financial success, grossing $883 million worldwide.
