Materialists Trailer: Love Gets Complicated With Chris Evans And Dakota Johnson
Last Updated: Materialists stars Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson in a love triangle balancing stability and chaos between her past and present. Romance takes a modern, complicated turn in Materialists, a new romantic comedy set in the heart of New York City. Starring Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson, the film explores a stylish love triangle under the direction of Celine Song, whose debut feature Past Lives received critical acclaim and an Oscar nomination. In Materialists, Dakota Johnson steps into the role of Lucy, a driven and high-powered matchmaker who has built a thriving career connecting others—but whose own romantic life is far less orderly. Her world begins to spiral when, during a chic Manhattan soiree, she crosses paths with Harry (Pedro Pascal), a charming and wealthy tech billionaire with all the makings of a perfect partner. The same night throws her for an emotional loop when she unexpectedly bumps into her ex-boyfriend John (Chris Evans), a passionate but struggling actor-slash-waiter, whose imperfections and past heartbreaks still linger in her mind. According to the film's official synopsis, Lucy must navigate the emotional tug-of-war between her stable, aspirational present and the messy, unresolved past she thought she left behind. The story cleverly weaves humour, vulnerability and sharp introspection as Lucy contemplates whether true love lies in what looks good on paper or in something far more chaotic and unpredictable. The newly released trailer offers glimpses into this tangled love triangle, filled with biting one-liners, lingering stares and moments of romantic tension. One pivotal scene shows John confronting Lucy about her relationship with Harry, asking whether she truly envisions a life with him, adding layers of doubt to what initially seemed like a fairy tale match. With its sparkling dialogue and stylish visuals, Materialists is shaping up to be one of the most buzzworthy rom-coms of the year. The film also boasts a stellar supporting cast, including Marin Ireland, Louisa Jacobson, Zoe Winters, Sawyer Spielberg and Dasha Nekrasova, each bringing depth to a vibrant ensemble. As her second directorial outing, Materialists sees Celine Song blending the emotional resonance of Past Lives with a lighter, more comedic tone, proving her storytelling versatility while still exploring themes of identity, love and self-worth. Distributed by A24, Materialists joins a slate of exciting new releases from the indie powerhouse. Other anticipated titles on their calendar include On Becoming a Guinea Fowl (released March 7), the surreal drama Opus starring Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich (March 14), and the fantastical Death of a Unicorn featuring Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd (March 28). Set to hit theatres on June 13, Materialists is primed to be a summer hit—blending aesthetics, smart storytelling and star power into a must-watch cinematic romance. First Published:

PEOPLE has an exclusive clip from Materialists ahead of its release in theaters on June 13 Dakota Johnson stars as a matchmaker named Lucy who quickly finds herself in a tricky love triangle with bachelor Randy (Pascal) and her ex John (Evans) In the clip, Lucy and Randy's initial meeting at a wedding is interrupted by John, who is working as a waiterDakota Johnson is one lucky woman. Ahead of Materialist's release in theaters on June 13, PEOPLE has an exclusive clip depicting the early stages of a love triangle between Johnson's Lucy, a modern matchmaker, and eligible bachelor Randy (Pascal, 49) and her ex John (Evans, 43). "Love is easy," Lucy tells Randy while sitting across from him in a blue gown at a wedding reception. "Is it? I find it to be the most difficult thing in the world," he replies, smirking at Lucy, then questioning whether she is hitting on him. Lucy quickly waves the notion off, and instead begins her matchmaking pitch — quickly sussing out that Randy is a wealthy New York bachelor. The two are soon interrupted by John, who pops in with Lucy's favorite drink combo — a coke and a beer. A trailer for writer-director Celine Song's rom-com shows Johnson, 35, as a matchmaker whose professional life grows complicated after her own love life is thrust into the spotlight when she meets a potential new lover, Randy at an event and coincidentally reconnects with her ex, John, the same night. In the trailer, John asks Lucy if she intends on marrying Randy, whom seemingly wants to wed Lucy. The complicated love triangle even puts a strain on Lucy's confidence in her career. "A young, ambitious New York City matchmaker finds herself torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex," reads an official synopsis for the film.

'Materialists' trailer: Celine Song cooks up a new love triangle with Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson, and Chris Evans
All products featured here are independently selected by our editors and writers. If you buy something through links on our site, Mashable may earn an affiliate commission. In 2023, Celine Song captivated audiences (and broke our hearts) with her Academy Award-nominated debut feature Past Lives. Now, the acclaimed writer and director looks to deliver another swoon-worthy love triangle with her second film, Materialists. SEE ALSO: Summer Movie Preview: What's coming to theaters and streaming? Distributed by A24, Materialists stars three of the world's buzziest stars: Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal. Johnson plays Lucy, a matchmaker and "eternal bachelorette" who helps couples find their happily ever after, while figuring she has no shot at her own. That all changes when not one but two potential suitors crash into her life. In one corner we have Harry (Pascal), an incredibly attractive, incredibly rich bachelor who looks to sweep Lucy off her feet. But could this perfect "unicorn" be too good to be true? In the other corner we have John (Evans), Lucy's (also incredibly attractive) ex-boyfriend. He's a theater actor by night and a cater waiter by day, and he seems determined to make things right with Lucy in a second go at their relationship. However, based on an argument in the trailer above, it seems like the two initially broke up over money concerns — something Harry would never have to worry about. So will Lucy choose Harry and his riches, or John and her past? Either way, we can't wait to witness another Celine Song love triangle. Materialists hits theaters June 13.
