Warner Bros. has unveiled the first full trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s off‑beat historical drama One Battle After Another, and it puts Leonardo DiCaprio front and center as an eccentric revolutionary determined to upend the status quo.
Set to hit theaters on 18 October 2025, the film follows DiCaprio’s character as he rallies a mismatched band of rebels—played by Regina Hall, Benicio del Toro, Wood Harris, Teyana Taylor and more—through a series of increasingly chaotic skirmishes. The trailer teases Anderson’s trademark mix of dark humor and sweeping period detail, with rapid‑fire dialogue and stylized action sequences.
A first collaboration
One Battle After Another marks the first time DiCaprio has worked with the Licorice Pizza director. The Oscar winner reportedly jumped at the chance to tackle Anderson’s “wildly original” script, calling the role “one of the most unpredictable characters I’ve ever played.”
Star‑studded ensemble
In addition to DiCaprio, the film features Sean Penn, Alana Haim and Chase Infiniti. Longtime Anderson collaborator Jonny Greenwood provides the score, while cinematographer Robert Elswit returns behind the camera.
Release plans
Warner Bros. will debut One Battle After Another exclusively in cinemas this fall, with streaming plans set to follow in early 2026. If the trailer is any indication, audiences can expect a riotous blend of political satire, character‑driven drama and the kind of meticulous craftsmanship that has become Anderson’s signature.Warner Bros. has unveiled the first full trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s off‑beat historical drama One Battle After Another, and it puts Leonardo DiCaprio front and center as an eccentric revolutionary determined to upend the status quo.
