The Terminal List: Dark Wolf (2025)
Slipping into the shadows of the Terminal List universe, Dark Wolf unleashes a prequel that’s all grit and moral quicksand. Taylor Kitsch reprises his role as Ben Edwards, the Navy SEAL whose forced exit from the Teams catapults him into the CIA’s black ops abyss. Teaming with a enigmatic handler (Robert Wisdom, all quiet menace), Ben navigates Geneva backrooms and Iraqi flashbacks, where every asset flip and raid blurs the line between hunter and haunted. It’s the origin of his descent—two wolves clawing inside: light fading, dark howling louder.
The tension coils like a suppressed round: pulse-racing interrogations in rain-lashed safehouses, drone strikes gone sideways, and team fractures that hit harder than the betrayals. Kitsch owns the unraveling—brooding intensity laced with vulnerability—while Tom Hopper’s Raife brings brawny loyalty and Chris Pratt’s James Reece cameo ties the saga with explosive flair. David DiGilio’s script dives deep into the human toll of spycraft, no heroes spared, with visuals that choke on diesel smoke and neon dread. Pacing? Razor-sharp, though the gray-area philosophizing occasionally slows the sprint.
This isn’t just thriller fuel—it’s a raw probe into the wolf you feed when the mission devours your soul. Darker, bolder than the original. Feed it now.
