After directing a small-budget film called
Footsteps, Evans was hired as a freelance director for a documentary about the Indonesian martial art
pencak silat. In late 2016, Evans started working on his next film,
Apostle, which stars
Dan Stevens. The film was released by
Netflix on 12 October 2018. In October 2017,
TheWrap reported that Evans had pitched his idea for a
Deathstroke solo film and is in early talks to write and direct. Evans also passed on directing a
Justice League Dark film. However, in April 2020, Evans said that the film had been delayed and that he was no longer actively involved with the project. In February 2021, it was reported that Evans signed an exclusive deal to produce and direct films for Netflix. His first film under that deal was
Havoc, starring
Tom Hardy and
Forest Whitaker, which was filmed in 2021. After numerous delays due to scheduling reshoots and the
SAG-AFTRA strike, the film was released on 25 April 2025. Later that year, Evans completed principal photography on
A Colt Is My Passport, a reimagining of the
Takashi Nomura 1967 film
of the same name. ==Personal life==
