This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.The first trailer for Mother Mary has been released, revealing Anne Hathaway as a pop star haunted by demons. The highly-anticipated A24 movie stars Hathaway as pop star Mother Mary, following her relationship with fashion designer Sam, portrayed by Michaela Cole. Other stars include Hunter Schafer, Jessica Brown Findlay, Sian Clifford, and FKA Twigs. It's written and directed by David Lowery.
Now, A24 has released the full trailer for Mother Mary, which sees Hathaway's title character going to Cole's Sam for help in making a new outfit. However, the pair share a sordid history that seemed to involve Mary cutting Sam out of her life following her fame. The tension between the pair makes it unclear if Sam will really help her.
The trailer also teases how the movie is a musical, highlighting the musicians involved while also teasing a number of stage performances. It also emphasizes how the movie isn't a "ghost story" or "love story," but rather a "prayer," making it stand out due to its mixture of various genre elements. Check out the full trailer below:
Mother Mary marks Hathaway's first movie since The Idea of You, her positively-reviewed rom-com from Prime Video, where she co-starred alongside Nicholas Galitzine. This will be Cole's first theatrical role since playing Aneka in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in 2022. Their characters' feud appears to be the central element of the story about to unfold in the film.
Cole also starred opposite Ian McKellen in the black comedy film The Christophers, which premiered at TIFF in 2025 but doesn't have a wide release date as of writing.
This also marks Lowery's first theatrical release in five years. The writer-director's last movie to be released in theaters was the acclaimed The Green Knight, a retelling of an Arthurian legend starring Dev Patel as Sir Gawain. It's also a far cry from Peter Pan & Wendy, a critically panned 2023 adaptation for Disney+ he wrote and directed.
