Pedro Pascal and Joaquin Phoenix Clash in A24's New 'Eddington' Trailer — and It's Already on My Must-Watch List

  • A24 released the trailer for Eddington, a contemporary Western film directed by Ari Aster, on June 10, 2025, following its Cannes premiere.
  • Eddington depicts a politically charged mayoral race set in May 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting social tensions amplified by recent events such as protests after George Floyd's murder.
  • The film stars Joaquin Phoenix as a small-town sheriff opposing Pedro Pascal's incumbent mayor, featuring genre elements like explosions and gunfights amid pandemic paranoia and social media polarization.
  • Eddington premiered at Cannes to a nearly seven-minute standing ovation and drew both praise for its provocative satire and division for its complex themes, described by a critic as a "brazenly provocative Western thriller."
  • Eddington will release widely in theaters on July 18, 2025, and is expected to spark significant discourse on America’s fractured identity and the pandemic's impact on community dynamics.
