The continuation of Orlov’s story arrives amidst ongoing global conflicts and a renewed focus on the international arms trade.The film explores the complex legacy of a notorious arms dealer and the emergence of a new generation vying for control, promising a tense and morally ambiguous thriller. Hoeks’ casting adds a Dutch perspective to the international production, broadening the film’s reach and appeal.
Lords of War centers on Yuri Orlov’s discovery of a son, Anton (Skarsgård), who isn’t interested in reforming his father’s illicit business, but rather exceeding it.

Saturn Films,Cage’s production company,is among those producing the film,with Skarsgård also serving as an executive producer.
