Notable Works: “The Tesseract” “Civil War” “Devs” “Ex Machina” “The Beach” “Warfare”

Garland released two films in the first half of 2025. Warfare was cowritten and codirected with Ray Mendoza, a former U.S. Navy SEAL and the military adviser for Civil War. It follows a Navy SEAL team on a mission in Iraq and is based on a real operation in which Mendoza took part during the U.S. battle for control of Al-Ramādī in the Iraq War. The New York Times called Warfare “a tough, relentless movie about life and death in battle…a purposely sad, angry movie, and as much a lament as a warning.” Warfare was followed by 28 Years Later, the long-awaited sequel to 28 Days Later, for which Garland again reunited with Boyle, their first collaboration in nearly two decades.
