The first trailer for Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man (2025) has officially dropped, and it’s already revving up serious buzz. Starring Jason Momoa as Harley Davidson and Tom Hardy as the Marlboro Man, this gritty reimagining of the 1991 cult classic merges modern action with vintage Americana.
Set against the sunburned backroads of a lawless American Southwest, the trailer teases a story of loyalty, redemption, and rebellion. Harley, an ex-biker outlaw turned vigilante, reunites with his old friend Marlboro, a broken but sharp-tongued drifter. When a corrupt tech corporation threatens their hometown, the two ride together one last time to bring justice on their own terms. Expect high-octane chases, whiskey-soaked one-liners, and explosive confrontations under neon skies.
The trailer reportedly cost over $1.5 million to produce—an unusually high figure for a promotional clip. But insiders say it was worth every penny. Filmed on location across New Mexico and Arizona with practical stunts and minimal CGI, the production aimed to recapture the rugged, real-world feel of ‘80s and early ‘90s action films.
From its gritty cinematography to its thunderous rock soundtrack and charismatic leads, the trailer has already surpassed 12 million views in its first 48 hours, topping YouTube’s trending charts. Fans are praising the dynamic chemistry between Momoa and Hardy, comparing it to classic duos like Mel Gibson and Danny Glover or Kurt Russell and Keith David.
Director David Leitch (Bullet Train, John Wick) is said to have pushed for a “hard-R” tone, keeping the spirit of the original while making it relevant to modern audiences. The film is set to release in theaters worldwide on September 19, 2025.
If the trailer is any indication, Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man might just be the surprise box office hit of the fall—where brotherhood, bullets, and bikes collide in spectacular fashion.
