**Los Angeles, CA** – The cast of the upcoming war drama *Warfare* are proving their brotherhood extends beyond the silver screen. Stars Kit Connor, Charles Melton, Will Poulter, Joseph Quinn, and D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai recently revealed their unique way of commemorating their intense filming experience: matching tattoos.

The film, co-directed by Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza, depicts a harrowing Iraq War battle and the Navy SEALs who fought in it. To capture the authentic camaraderie of the SEALs, the actors underwent rigorous training, including group head shaving and living together. This intense bonding experience led to the decision to get matching “Call on Me” tattoos – a reference to the Erik Prydz song that became an on-set tradition, playing before each day’s shoot.

“It’s a cheesy metaphor,” Woon-A-Tai explained to Entertainment Weekly, “that we can all call on each other.” The actors also adopted SEAL nicknames, with Quinn becoming “Funcle,” Smith “Lamb Bone,” Woon-A-Tai “DP” or “Doza,” Melton “Top,” and Poulter endearingly nicknamed “Daddy” by the group.

The article highlights the actors’ playful banter and genuine affection for one another, showcasing the deep bonds forged during production. The film, opening April 11th, promises a raw and powerful portrayal of war, enriched by the undeniable chemistry between its stars. Entertainment Weekly’s full cover story delves deeper into the cast’s training, the impact of having real SEALs on set, and how *Warfare* distinguishes itself from their previous projects.
