Chris Evans – OMG Check It Out ! https://omgcheckitout.com Wed, 19 Mar 2025 08:22:35 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 A24 Drops First Trailer for Star-Studded Rom-Com “Materialists” https://omgcheckitout.com/a24-drops-first-trailer-for-star-studded-rom-com-materialists/ Wed, 19 Mar 2025 06:20:00 +0000 https://omgcheckitout.com/?p=42731 The long-awaited follow-up to Celine Song’s Past Lives is coming our way this June, and A24 has finally given us a taste of things to come. The first trailer for the buzzy rom-com Materialists is here, and it sees Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal stuck in a love triangle.

Johnson leads Materialists as a modern-day matchmaker, who made a name for herself by helping New York City elites find true love. Her personal and professional life grows complicated after she finds herself entangled with two very different men – a millionaire who seems like a perfect match (Pedro Pascal), and an imperfect ex she couldn’t move on from (Chris Evans).

In addition to Johnson, Evans, and Pascal, the supporting cast of Materialists includes Zoë Winters, Marin Ireland, Dasha Nekrasova, Louisa Jacobson, Sawyer Spielberg, Eddie Cahill, and Fernando Belo.

Materialists hails from the acclaimed director Celine Song, who got her big break with the semi-autobiographical romance drama Past Lives. Her directorial debut received nominations for best picture and best original screenplay at the Oscars, in addition to winning numerous other accolades.

Materialists will be released by A24 in the United States on June 13, while Sony Pictures Releasing will handle international release.

The acclaimed director is rounding out an impressive cast for her new movie The Materialists, with Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans eyeing key roles.

The Materialists will reportedly center on a high-end matchmaker who gets involved with a wealthy man, while still struggling to let go of her feelings for the broke actor-waiter she left behind. Johnson is in talks to play the lead role, with Evans and Pascal circling the project.

This project will reunite Song with A24, and they’re expected to take it to the European Film Market for sales. Killer Films and 2AM are also on board, with Christine Vachon and Pam Koffler of Killer Films and 2AM’s David Hinojosa coming on board as producers.

Song knocked it out of the park with her directorial film debut Past Lives, starring Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, and John Magaro.

It will be in the running for best original screenplay and best picture at the upcoming Academy Awards.
