Action star Frank Grillo (The Purge: Anarchy, Captain America: Civil War) will be returning to the big screen somewhere down the road as he has signed on to lead an all-new action-horror film titled Year 2. The new film will see Grillo star as a scientist working to find a cure for a worldwide werewolf pandemic. Grillo has become something of a big name with his appearances in big-budget films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and The Purge franchise. It’s not often that he gets to play starring roles, so this film is likely to be quite the treat for both action and horror fans. 

Year 2 takes place a year after a supermoon activates a latent lycanthropy gene that turns people into snarling beasts the moment they step foot into the moonlight. The horrific event resulted in a death toll of almost one billion people worldwide. When the supermoon returns a year after humanity’s darkest day, Marshall (Grillo) must scramble to find a cure before more lives are lost. However, when his sister-in-law and niece are under siege by wolves at their heavily fortified home, Marshall will be forced to choose between saving the world and saving his family.
