NEW YORK, NY — Get ready to fall in love with love again. CWEB News is thrilled to debut the first official trailer for Materialists, the upcoming romantic comedy-drama from acclaimed writer-director Celine Song (Past Lives). Starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, this whimsical yet poignant tale promises to deliver laughter, heartache, and a razor-sharp look at modern romance among New York City’s elite.
Set against the glittering backdrop of Manhattan’s high-society weddings, Materialists follows Lucy (Johnson), a razor-sharp matchmaker who charges top dollar to unite the city’s wealthiest hearts. But when she finds herself entangled with two polar opposite suitors at a lavish client wedding, her professional poise—and personal boundaries—begin to unravel.
Pedro Pascal smolders as Randy, a smooth-talking millionaire and the groom’s irresistibly charismatic best man, while Chris Evans delivers a scene-stealing turn as John, Lucy’s down-on-his-luck actor ex who’s now serving cocktails at the same event. Sparks fly as old flames reignite, new temptations emerge, and Lucy is forced to confront whether love can ever be as calculated as her career.
“Celine Song has crafted a story that’s both deliciously fun and deeply human,” said a CWEB News critic after an early screening. “The chemistry between Johnson, Evans, and Pascal is electric—you’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe even tear up as these flawed characters navigate the messiness of connection.”
Zoë Winters, Marin Ireland, and Dasha Nekrasova round out the stellar supporting cast, adding layers of wit and warmth to the film’s exploration of ambition, vulnerability, and the price of perfection. From opulent ballrooms to intimate late-night diners, Materialists balances glamour with grounded emotion, proving that even in a world obsessed with status, the heart remains refreshingly unpredictable.
Produced by A24 (Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Farewell), Materialists is slated to hit theaters on June 13, 2025, with Sony Pictures Releasing handling international distribution. Early buzz suggests the film could be this decade’s answer to Crazy, Stupid, Love—with a biting modern twist.
Why CWEB News Is Excited:
- Dakota Johnson’s Career Best? The Fifty Shades alum shines as Lucy, blending razor-sharp wit with aching vulnerability.
- Pascal vs. Evans: Two Hollywood heavyweights bring fiery romantic rivalry to life.
- Celine Song’s Magic: Fresh off her Oscar-nominated Past Lives, Song cements her status as a generational storyteller.
Whether you’re a hopeless romantic or a skeptic of fairy tales, Materialists invites you to rethink what it means to find “the one” in a world where love is often treated as a transaction. Mark your calendars—this is one date movie you won’t want to miss.
