A24 has dropped the trailer for Materialists, a forthcoming rom-com from director Celine Song (Past Lives), starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal. The supporting cast includes talents like Zoe Winters, Marin Ireland, Dasha Nekrasova, Sawyer Spielberg, Eddie Cahill, and Louisa Jacobson. It is set to be released in theatres on June 13—so mark your calendars!
The trailer introduces Johnson’s character, Lucy, a successful matchmaker with an impressive track record. As she celebrates her ninth successful match at a wedding, things take a turn. She crosses paths with Randy (Pascal), a wealthy billionaire, and John (Evans), a caterer. Lucy begins a relationship with Randy, but John’s persistent pursuit sparks a love triangle that threatens her professional reputation.
The latest clip suggests that Materialists will largely revolve around Dakota Johnson’s performance as Lucy, who serves as the film’s emotional core. Meanwhile, Pedro Pascal’s Randy and Chris Evans’ John appear to play more supporting roles. But the big question remains—who will Lucy choose?
Materialists follows a similar love triangle arc to Past Lives but carries a lighter dramatic tone. Lucy’s personal romantic struggles directly impact her ability to offer sound matchmaking advice, a theme the trailer highlights. The main conflict revolves around how she navigates this dilemma and the ultimate outcome of her romantic choices.
Past Lives received critical acclaim, particularly for Celine Song’s direction. Given her track record, we can expect another heartfelt and entertaining rom-com from Song—this time in the form of A24’s Materialists. Watch the trailer below!
