The dynamic footage also introduces new cast members Isabela Merced and Jeffrey Wright, and includes numerous high-octane action sequences. Most scenes in the trailer are brief, showing Tommy (Gabriel Luna) defending his Jackson community against an assault and Ellie frantically escaping from an infected.
