As revealed in the trailer for Out of Darkness, the land the travelers discover is far from a friendly one. A chilling image of a mutilated wooly mammoth early on in the trailer promises an exciting exploration into the Stone Age as well as a threat capable of killing one of the era’s most iconic creatures. The trailer also suggests that the travelers encounter another group of humans who may very well be cannibals; whether those are the only threats in the film will be revealed when Out of Darkness hits theaters in 2024.
