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), Materialists follows a young, ambitious New York City matchmaker who suddenly finds herself caught between the perfect match and her not-so-perfect ex. 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.
What is Materialists about?
Materialists is a romantic comedy about a young matchmaker in New York City who faces an unexpected dilemma: choosing between the perfect match and her imperfect ex. With Celine Song at the helm, the film promises a mix of heartfelt storytelling, romance, and humour.
When is Materialists coming out and where can you watch in Australia?
A24 has set a U.S. theatrical release date of June 13, 2025. While there is no confirmed Australian release date yet, Materialists is expected to premiere in cinemas before moving to streaming platforms such as BINGE or Prime Video, based on A24’s past distribution patterns. We’ll let you know when we hear more.
