It’s been nearly four years since Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert wowed people away with Everything Everywhere All at Once. Since then, the duo’s directed an episode of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew and not done much else, give or take a producing gig.
Fortunately, it sounds like that’s about to change, albeit in the near (but still-too-far) future. During a recent Collider interview, Kwan revealed the duo’s next, currently untitled movie will release in November 2027. Production’s going to start up this summer. Cryptically, he said the film will see him and Scheinert “try doing what we’ve always done: listen very deeply to what is happening in the world and try to internalize that and make something really fun and entertaining. […] It’s going to be fun sci-fi, action comedy with a big heart. Very existential.”
In another life, this movie would be coming out this summer on June 12, which is currently occupied by Disclosure Day. Instead, the Daniels delayed it to avoid Steven Spielberg’s orbit, and they’ve used that extra time to take in everything happening in the world so they can “reconcile all those [complex and really nuanced] things and put them into one movie.”
And when that movie does hit, Kwan teased it’ll be one for the big screen. For the IMAX heads out there, he said the plan is to shoot much of it for the format so they can “bring people together and give them a big event. It’s a big action movie, which we’re really excited about.” All we have to do is spend the next year and eight months waiting for news about the film’s production and it’s official title. That won’t be hard, right?
