Chaos Walking is an upcoming American science fiction action-adventure thriller film directed by Doug Liman from a screenplay by Patrick Ness and Christopher Ford. It is based on the sci-fi trilogy Chaos Walking, adapting its first book, 2008's The Knife of Never Letting Go by Ness. The film mainly stars Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland, with Mads Mikkelsen, Demián Bichir, Cynthia Erivo, Nick Jonas, and David Oyelowo in supporting roles.

Announced in 2011, the film had undergone several rewrites from a first script draft written by Charlie Kaufman, with Jamie Linden, John Lee Hancock, Gary Spinelli, Lindsey Beer, Christopher Ford and Ness revising the screenplay further. Liman was later announced as the director in 2016, with principal photography fully started and finished around 2017. Originally set to release on March 1, 2019, it was removed from schedule to accommodate the films' reshoots in April 2019 following poor test screenings from audiences.

Chaos Walking is scheduled to release theatrically on March 5, 2021 by Lionsgate.
