Universal Pictures has dropped an electrifying new trailer for Dev Patel's directorial debut, 'Monkey Man'. Scheduled for theatrical release on April 5, the action-packed trailer offers a deeper glimpse into Patel's character and his relentless quest for justice against the oppressive elite.

The trailer sets the stage for intense action sequences intertwined with themes of justice and retribution.

Inspired by the legend of the Hindu deity Hanuman, 'Monkey Man' follows one man's relentless pursuit of justice against the corrupt leaders responsible for his mother's murder and the continued oppression of the poor and powerless.
