The latest of the 2026 Netflix releases is "Thrash," which follows a mix of the best shark films and crazy disaster movies. The thriller follows residents of a coastal town as they face a Category 5 hurricane and the blood-hungry sharks the dangerous tide brings in. If you’ve seen it, let’s get into the SPOILER question we had to ask Djimon Hounsou. (Check it out with your Netflix subscription before reading ahead!)

During the climax of the film. Phoebe Dynevor’s Lisa has her baby, Whitney Peak’s Dakota is rushing to rescue her with a boat she found, and Djimon Hounsou’s Dale is about to catch up to them on his rescue mission to save his niece. Both Lisa and Dakota get to fight sharks, but Dale never has a shark-fighting moment. In fact, another bigger shark ends up saying the final word action-wise when it jumps and munches on the one that was a big threat to Lisa, Dakota and the newborn baby. When I asked Hounsou if he was bummed he didn’t get to fight for his life too, here’s what he had to say.
