Chaos Walking (2021) is a dystopian action film directed by Doug Liman and written by Patrick Ness and Christopher Ford.
Based on the science fiction trilogy by Patrick Ness, Chaos Walking is an adaptation of the first book, 2008's The Knife of Never Letting Go.
Starring Daisy Ridley, Tom Holland, Mads Mikkelsen, Demián Bichir, Cynthia Erivo, Nick Jonas and David Oyelowo, the movie was originally supposed to be released in 2019. However, reshoots were required when it tested poorly and pushed the release date out to 2021.
That didn't appear to help as it bombed at the box-office, taking just $27 million worldwide against its $100 million budget.
But plenty of people still like the film, so if you want to watch Chaos Walking for the first time or simply want to re-watch it, then here's where you can stream it.

Why Did Tom Holland Not Promote Chaos Walking?
Tom Holland is known for his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Spider-Man, but fans of his work were disappointed to learn that he did not promote the 2021 film Chaos Walking.
While he had a leading role in the movie, Tom opted to focus on promoting films with a personal connection.
His close relationship with the Marvel team likely had a significant influence on this decision. However, no reason has ever really been confirmed.
Why Is Chaos Walking Rated PG 13
