Dan Stevens, the talented actor known for his diverse roles, recently sat down with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, alongside co-star Drew Starkey, to promote their upcoming film, Onslaught, directed by the visionary Adam Wingard. In this captivating conversation, Stevens shared some thrilling details about his next big adventure—suiting up as Alex Murphy in the eagerly anticipated RoboCop series for Prime Video.

Speaking with palpable excitement, Stevens revealed that he would soon be stepping into the iconic suit, with production set to kick off in spring 2027. The buzz doesn’t stop there; Stevens hinted at the possibility of the series evolving beyond a limited run into a recurring storyline, providing fans with more RoboCop action than ever expected.

This new iteration of RoboCop aims to stay true to the essence of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 classic while infusing fresh perspectives on technology, identity, and corporate power. Amazon MGM Studios’ Head of Global TV, Peter Friedlander, shared that Peter Ocko’s take on the series is designed to resonate with today’s audience by balancing homage with innovation. The visionary minds behind this project include executive producers James Wan, Michael Clear, Rob Hackett, and original RoboCop writers Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner, ensuring a robust creative force.

Before donning the cybernetic armor, Stevens has a full roster of projects. He appears alongside Drew Starkey in Onslaught, a film that promises an electrifying mix of action and horror. Also starring Adria Arjona, Rebecca Hall, and Michael Biehn, Onslaught follows a mother who confronts a mysterious threat tied to a biotech company. The movie is billed as a return to roots for Wingard, who recently found blockbuster success with Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

In their Collider interview, Stevens and Starkey entertained fans by debating the best movie theater seats and recounting their unhinged first days on the Onslaught set. They praised Wingard’s direction, highlighting his ability to blend humor and violence seamlessly, which has defined his unique storytelling style.

As anticipation builds for the new RoboCop series, Prime Video has yet to announce an official release date. Fans eager to follow Dan Stevens’ journey as Alex Murphy should keep their eyes peeled for further announcements.
