Dramas set in dystopian times are often gripping, as they explore how people navigate a world in turmoil. The direction a filmmaker takes is crucial, but when these movies focus on love and relationships striving to survive in a collapsing world, they can be emotional rollercoasters if done right. Maggie is one such movie, and it stands out even more because it features Arnold Schwarzenegger in a role no one expected from him in 2015. The actor defied expectations, delivering a performance with finesse that touched the hearts of many. Now, Maggie is about to have a second run on streaming in India.

Maggie On OTT

For those unfamiliar, Maggie was released in 2015 and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Abigail Breslin in the leading roles. The film centers on Wade, a single father whose daughter is bitten by a zombie. She is transferred to a quarantine center, but Wade must rescue her and find a cure. Maggie resonates because it shifts focus to the emotional journey of a father coming to terms with losing his daughter, as she slowly transforms into a mindless, flesh-eating monster. The movie is now set to re-release on Lionsgate Play.

Lionsgate Play has released a variety of intriguing films in recent months, including Room, Logan Lucky, The Arcadian, Replicas, Adrift, and The Iron Law. Prior to that, the platform offered Dream Scenario, Copshop, BMF, American Hustle, and more. All these releases feature major stars and compelling content. Maggie now joins this impressive lineup and is set to arrive on the streaming platform soon.

Directed by Henry Hobson, Maggie stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abigail Breslin, and an ensemble cast. The film has been added to Lionsgate Play's upcoming releases. While the exact release date hasn’t been confirmed, it is expected to hit the platform in September. You can also watch it with your OTTplay Premium subscription once it’s available.

Arnold Schwarzenegger on Maggie

Arnold Schwarzenegger, in an interview with Under the Radar back in the day, discussed why he chose to take on the role in Maggie. “When I read the Maggie script, I thought, 'I can do that,' because I understood what it was like being a father,” he said. “Twenty-five, 30 years ago, I couldn’t have said that. And I wouldn’t have had the time, because there were so many big projects around then. I was chasing the big money. I was working my way up to be the highest-paid actor. Today, that doesn’t mean anything to me, because I’ve made a lot of money and I’m in a different place in my life now.”
