Dakota Johnson is a matchmaker facing a tough decision in her own love life in the trailer for A24‘s Materialists.
Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal also star in writer-director Celine Song‘s romantic feature that hit theaters June 13. Materialists centers on Lucy (Johnson), a New York City matchmaker who is torn between a wealthy suitor (Pascal) and her flawed ex (Evans).
“When I see your face, I see wrinkles and children that look like you,” Evans tells Johnson in the trailer in an attempt to win her over. “So where does that leave us?”
Later in the footage, Johnson questions her ability to do her job as she feels jaded about romance. “We promise them love, but the math doesn’t add up,” she laments.
Song helmed the feature from her own script. She produces the film alongside David Hinojosa, Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler.
Materialists continues Song’s collaboration with A24, which released her previous film, Past Lives. The movie hit theaters in 2023 and was nominated for two Oscars, including best picture and best original screenplay for Song’s script. She also worked on the Prime Video series The Wheel of Time.
Johnson’s recent credits include the films Madame Web, Am I OK? and Cha Cha Real Smooth. Evans starred opposite Dwayne Johnson in last year’s holiday feature Red One. Pascal appeared in Gladiator II and can be seen in this summer’s Marvel title The Fantastic Four: First Steps, along with starring in the series The Mandalorian and The Last of Us.
