A new trailer for the dark comedy “Wicker” is released, introducing Olivia Colman as an ostracized fisherwoman who decides not to accept a life alone. According to the outlets, she commissions a local basketmaker to weave a “husband” for her, based on the film’s premise of a satirical social fable. The trailer highlights how the wicker husband, played by Alexander Skarsgård, proves unexpectedly extraordinary and triggers jealousy and disruption within the village.
The film premiered earlier in the year at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, where it was publicly shown before the trailer release. “Wicker” is directed by Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer, and it is based on Ursula Wills-Jones’ short story “The Wicker Husband.” The cast also includes Peter Dinklage, along with Elizabeth Debicki, Ella Bruccoleri, Richard E. Grant, Nabhaan Rizwan, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, and others mentioned across coverage.
One report says the film is set for a theatrical release in October. The trailer is framed as emphasizing the film’s comedic, raucous tone and unusual fantasy elements, with a focus on relationships, marriage, and social convention.
