In the first trailer for One Battle After Another, Leonardo DiCaprio takes on the role of a civil rights activist who joins an anti-government group to battle a dangerous white supremacist organization.
Leonardo DiCaprio navigates chaos and frustration in the first trailer for One Battle After Another. His character, Bob Ferguson, is on a desperate search for his daughter, but everything keeps going wrong. In a bizarre twist, a mysterious man demands a password over the phone—but Bob forgets it. A wannabe revolutionary, Bob faces relentless criticism from his mother-in-law, drifts through life in a bathrobe, and is ultimately abandoned by his sensei, played by Benicio del Toro. While Bob’s day spirals into disaster, the film promises a treat for DiCaprio fans, marking his return to the screen after Killers of the Flower Moon.
According to IndieWire, Paul Thomas Anderson’s upcoming film—inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s 1997 novel Vineland—will feature Leonardo DiCaprio as a civil rights activist who joins an anti-government group to take on a dangerous white supremacist organization. DiCaprio’s character teams up with fellow activists played by Teyana Taylor, Regina Hall, and Alana Haim, while Sean Penn portrays the leader of the white nationalist group, joined by Shayna McHale and Wood Harris. The film also stars Chase Infiniti, who plays DiCaprio’s daughter in the story.
