The Crow is a 2024 gothic action horror film directed by Rupert Sanders from a screenplay by Zach Baylin and William Schneider.[10][11] A reboot of The Crow film series, it is the fifth film in the franchise, and is the second film, after the 1994 film, to adapt the 1989 comic book series by James O'Barr.[a] The film stars Bill Skarsgård as Eric/The Crow, a man who is resurrected to avenge the deaths of himself and his girlfriend, played by FKA Twigs.

The film entered development in December 2008, with Stephen Norrington stating that he would write and direct a "reinvention" of The Crow. It entered a complicated production process with various directors, screenwriters, and cast members attached at various points. Filmmakers Norrington, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, F. Javier Gutiérrez, and Corin Hardy were initially signed to direct while Bradley Cooper, Luke Evans, Jack Huston, and Jason Momoa were all cast as Eric during various points in development. Skarsgård was announced as Eric in April 2022, along with Sanders as director. Filming began in July, occurring in Prague and Penzing near Munich.

The Crow had its world premiere in New York City on August 20, 2024, and was released in France on August 21, and in the United States and United Kingdom on August 23. It received negative reviews from critics and was a box-office bomb, grossing $23 million worldwide against a production budget of $50 million.
