Wicker Trailer with Colman, Skarsgård, Debicki, and Dinklage

Black Bear has unveiled the official trailer and poster for Wicker, directed and adapted by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson from the short story The Wicker Husband by Ursula Wills-Jones.

Rated R for sexual content, language, and brief full nudity, Wicker will release in limited theaters on October 23, 2026, before expanding nationwide on October 30.

An audacious comedic fable about sex, marriage, and the absurdities of social convention, Wicker tells the wholly original love story of an ostracized fisherwoman (Olivia Colman) who commissions a husband to be made by the local basketmaker (Peter Dinklage).

When her wicker husband (Alexander Skarsgård) proves more spectacular than she ever imagined, his soulful spirit and unique prowess awaken something inside her, setting off a wave of jealousy, fascination, and upheaval that threatens the very fabric of village life.

Adapted by Alex Huston Fischer & Eleanor Wilson (Save Yourselves!) from Ursula Wills’ acclaimed short story The Wicker Husband, Wicker was brought to life through cinematography by Academy Award winner Lol Crawley (The Brutalist), production design by Art Directors Guild Award winner Renátó Cseh (Poor Things), costumes by Tóth András Dániel and Attila Godena-Juhász, and a score by Anna Meredith (Eighth Grade).

Alexander Skarsgård’s title character was realized through a fully practical suit, created by Joe Dunckley and the acclaimed design shop, Wētā Workshop (Avatar, The Lord of the Rings).

Led by a cast including Academy Award winner Olivia Colman, Golden Globe winner Alexander Skarsgård, and Emmy Award winners Elizabeth Debicki and Peter Dinklage, Wicker earned rave reviews and a double standing ovation at Sundance.

The producers include Ed Sinclair, p.g.a., Tom Carver, p.g.a., Olivia Colman, Justin Lothrop, p.g.a., Brent Stiefel, Brad Zimmerman, p.g.a., David Michod, Andrea Cornwell, Oliver Kassman, Tim Headington, Lia Buman, Ryan Heller, and Michael Bloom.
