Just when we thought 2025 couldn’t get any better, we get hit with this cinematic gift: Materialists, a brand-new romantic comedy starring Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal, and Dakota Johnson. And before you ask—yes, we’re already obsessed.
From the brilliant mind of Celine Song (the director behind Past Lives), the rom-com follows a young, ambitious New York City matchmaker – played by Dakota – who suddenly finds herself caught between the perfect match – played by Pedro – and her not-so-perfect ex – played by Chris. With an A-list cast and a storyline that’s already giving us major love triangle chaos, this one is shooting straight to the top of our must-watch list.
