Look: Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgard step out at 'Wicker' premiere
On Tuesday, actor Alexander Skarsgård and Oscar-winning actress Olivia Colman attended the Los Angeles premiere of 'Wicker' at the DGA Theater, where Skarsgård wore a shirt featuring Colman's face to honor his co-star.
Directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, the film adapts Ursula Wills-Jones' 2008 short story 'The Wicker Husband,' following a lonely Fisherwoman who commissions a wicker husband to escape village ridicule.
The ensemble cast includes Peter Dinklage as the Basket Weaver, Elizabeth Debicki as the Tailor's Wife, and Richard E. Grant, with critics praising Skarsgård's performance as 'sturdy and steady' while noting top-tier prosthetic work.
Boasting a 91 per cent 'fresh' status on Rotten Tomatoes, the film premieres in select U.S. theaters on October 23, 2026, before expanding nationwide on October 30.
Fans have drawn parallels between this unconventional romance and genre-bending films like 'The Shape of Water,' with social media users calling the trailer 'insane' and 'interesting,' praising Colman's bold casting.
