Marco is a 2024 Indian Malayalam-language neo-noir action thriller film written and directed by Haneef Adeni and produced by Shareef Muhammed under his Cubes Entertainments banner. It is the standalone spin-off to Mikhael (2019) and also the second installment in a planned Mikhael Extended Universe, featuring Unni Mukundan in the titular role, Siddique, Jagadish, Kabir Duhan Singh, Abhimanyu Shammi Thilakan, Anson Paul, Ishaan Shoukath and Yukti Thareja co-stars.[5][6] The plot follows Marco Jr, a ruthless gangster and the adopted son of the Adattu crime family, who goes on a bloody rampage after the brutal death of his blind foster brother Victor.
The music was composed by Ravi Basrur, while cinematography and editing were handled by Chandru Selvaraj and Shameer Muhammed, respectively. Marco was released worldwide on 20 December 2024, coinciding with Christmas. The film received highly positive reviews from critics, but was subjected to controversies for its depictions of extreme and graphic violence and brutal content. It was a commercial success at the box office and emerged as the highest-grossing A-rated Malayalam-language film of all time and the tenth highest-grossing Malayalam film of all-time.[7][8]
