The worlds of heavy metal and rock have officially collided in an epic way. Netflix has just dropped the first trailer for *“When Giants Collide: Metallica x U2”*, the upcoming documentary that promises to dive deep into one of the most unexpected and electrifying collaborations in modern music history.
The trailer opens with Bono’s haunting voice echoing over a dimly lit studio, before James Hetfield’s unmistakable growl cuts through: “We’ve always been on different sides of the same storm.” From that moment, viewers know this isn’t just another music doc—it’s a cultural moment.
Spanning decades of dominance, rivalry, and mutual respect, *“When Giants Collide”* explores how two of the biggest bands on the planet—Metallica and U2—found common ground in their shared mission to redefine live performance and push the emotional limits of their art. The film includes never-before-seen footage from recording sessions, candid interviews, and a behind-the-scenes look at the massive joint performance that stunned fans earlier this year in Los Angeles.
Directed by Oscar-winner Asif Kapadia (*Amy*, *Senna*), the documentary captures the raw humanity behind the legends—the creative clashes, the laughter, the exhaustion, and the revelation that music, at its core, is a bridge, not a barrier.
Netflix describes the project as “a journey into the heart of two musical worlds colliding with purpose, power, and passion.” Fans can expect stories of friendship, faith, and fury—told by the men who defined generations.
*“When Giants Collide: Metallica x U2”* premieres globally on **Netflix this December**, and if the trailer is any indication, this documentary won’t just celebrate two iconic bands—it will remind the world why their music still moves mountains.
