Anne Hathway channels her inner pop diva in the unsettling trailer for A24's upcoming Mother Mary.
Directed by David Lowery (The Green Knight), the film introduces pop icon Mother Mary (Hathaway), who, on the eve of her big comeback performance, seeks out an enigmatic figure from her past. That figure is her former costume designer and estranged best friend Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel, I May Destroy You).
Based on the trailer, the pair begin this fateful night together at odds: Mother Mary wants a new, showstopping dress, while Sam wonders why she's come "crawling back."
Soon, though, their dress-making session morphs into something sinister. Séances, strange visions, bloody sacrifices... All that and more await Mother Mary and Sam in this psychosexual thriller.
Of course, you can't have a movie about a pop star without actual pop songs, and Mother Mary's trailer promises those in spades. The film comes with new music from Jack Antonoff, Charli XCX, and FKA Twigs, who also co-stars. Get ready for some clubby, ethereal bops, as well as concert sequences dripping with religious iconography. (She is Mother Mary, after all.)
In addition to Hathaway and Coel, Mother Mary also stars Hunter Schafer, Atheena Frizzell, Kaia Gerber, Jessica Brown Findlay, Alba Baptista, Isaura Barbé-Brown, and Sian Clifford.
Mother Mary hits theaters in spring of 2026.
