Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey - Civil War

Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey - Civil War is a 2027 British independent epic slasher crossover film directed by Tallulah Evans from a script written by Matt Leslie, Amy Jump, Scott Jeffrey and the writing team of Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Produced by ITN Studios, Jagged Edge Productions, Proportion Productions, ChampDog Films and Premiere Entertainment and distributed by Cineworld, Altitude Film Distribution, Umbrella Entertainment and Vue Cinemas, it is a sequel to Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023), Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 (2024) and Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 3 (2026), which together with this film serve as a horror reimagining of A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard's Winnie-the-Pooh book series, a horror parody of the 2016 Marvel Studios film Captain America: Civil War whom Markus and McFeely previously worked on as the screenwriters, and the tenth film in the Twisted Childhood Universe (TCU). It is the fourth and final film in the Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey horror film series, a sub-franchise of the TCU, and stars Ryan Oliva reprising his role from Blood and Honey 2 and 3 as Winnie-the-Pooh, alongside an ensemble cast including Philip Philmar, Lora Hristova, Lewis Santer, Eddy MacKenzie, Marcus Massey, Kit Green, Daniel Kaluuya, Rhys Frake-Waterfield, Jophielle Love, Adrian Relph, David Tennant, Kelly Rian Sanson, Alechka Nasyrova, Craig David Dowsett, Peter Kay, Javier Bardem, and Roxanne McKee. In the film, disagreements over organizing international massacres causes the Monster Assembly to fracture into two opposing factions, one led by Pooh (Oliva) and the other by Peter Pan (Philmar).
Development on the film began in March 2024 after Marvel Studios allowed Jagged Edge Productions to make a parody film of the former's 2016 MCU film Captain America: Civil War for the latter's own TCU without acquiring the license, with Markus and McFeely, the screenwriters of Captain America: Civil War, signing on to write a new script with help from Leslie, Jump and Jeffrey. Evans was hired to direct the film in her directorial debut a month later, making it the first Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey film and the eighth film in the TCU to not be directed by Frake-Waterfield, who instead plays the Big Bad Wolf as well as composing the score alongside Andrew Scott Bell. The film was formally announced to be in production on July 4, 2025, along with Philmar's involvement via reprising his role as Peter Pan; additional cast members joined in the following weeks. Principal photography began in May 2026 at Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath, England, before continuing in Chapel St Leonards before concluding Ashdown Forest, the main filming location for the first three Blood and Honey movies and the inspiration for the Hundred Acre Wood in the original Winnie-the-Pooh books, in September 2026, with the film being the first to use IMAX's digital RealD 3D drone cameras (for the film's Neverland mermaid cove fight sequence). Practical effects, special effects, visual effects, and creature and gore designs were provided by more by 40 different companies, most notably The Prosthetics Studio in London, who returned to provide the creature designs and prosthetic makeup for characters such as Pooh, Pan and the Big Bad Wolf.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey - Civil War premiered at the Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square on September 23, 2027, and was released in both the United States and the United Kingdom on October 31, as the final film in Chapter Two of the TCU. It was a commercial success, grossing over $1.1 billion worldwide against a production budget of $50 million, becoming the highest-grossing independent film, the highest-grossing film in the TCU, and the highest-grossing film from Jagged Edge Productions, and, in contrast to its predecessors, received positive reviews from critics, with praise for the performances (particularly Oliva and Philmar), direction, action and murder sequences, and themes, causing several to call it the best film from Jagged Edge Productions and the best film in the TCU. A fourth film, Winnie-the-Pooh: New Spring Holocaust, is set to be released in February 2029, which is a continuation of Jagged Edge Productions' BBC 3 series The Owl and the Heffalump, following Massey returning in the role of Owl.
