The teaser for The Insect (2025), a Warner Bros sci-fi thriller, paints a gripping picture of suspense and dread. Dwayne Johnson takes on an unexpected role in this horror-laced narrative, leaving behind his usual high-octane action persona to play Dr. Jack Conrad, a former entomologist. The story follows the devastating consequences of an experiment gone wrong, as genetically enhanced insects threaten to overrun humanity.

The trailer starts innocently enough, with serene countryside visuals, birds chirping in the background. Suddenly, the peace is broken by an ominous buzzing—starting quietly, but growing louder, almost overpowering. The camera focuses on an eerie, dark swarm of insects rapidly approaching, blotting out the sky. Then, darkness.

Johnson’s voiceover cuts in: “We thought we could control it… but it’s out of our hands now.”

Quick, intense flashes follow, showing panicked scientists, soldiers fighting to hold back chaos, and landscapes torn apart by swarming creatures. The tension builds as we watch Conrad’s realization that their scientific breakthrough has unleashed a catastrophe.
