The release date of Mel Gibson's Flight Risk, starring Mark Wahlberg in the lead role, has been pushed to 2025. The much-anticipated suspense thriller, which was supposed to hit theatres on October 18, 2024, will now be released on January 24, 2025.

Scripted by Jared Rosenberg, Flight Risk also stars Topher Grace and Michelle Dockery. The film, which will be distributed by Lionsgate, reunites Wahlberg and Gibson after 2022's Father Stu.

Billed as an 'aviation thriller', it stars Wahlberg as a hitman for the mob who deceitfully becomes the pilot of a flight that carries a fugitive (Grace) to trial, and an Air Marshal (Dockery). As they cross the Alaskan wilderness, tensions soar and trust is tested, as not everyone on board is who they seem. Wahlberg mentioned in previous interviews that, with Flight Risk, he is playing a 'bad guy' for the first time since 1996's Fear.

Flight Risk marks the comeback of Gibson to the director's chair after 2016's Hacksaw Ridge. Flight Risk is produced by Davis Entertainment, Icon Productions, and Hammerstone Studios.

Upon release, Flight Risk will clash with Disney-inspired indie horror comedy Screamboat and Phoebe Dynevor's thriller Inheritance.
