First Teaser for One Battle After Another Unveils Leonardo DiCaprio in a Crime Drama
Warner Bros. has unveiled the first teaser trailer for the crime drama One Battle After Another, spotlighting 50-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead. In this enigmatic clip, the Oscar winner—honored for The Revenant—watches a pregnant woman unleash a hail of bullets from an automatic rifle.
The brief teaser confirms a full trailer will drop next week, between March 24 and 30. It features DiCaprio gazing on as Teyana Taylor (Coming 2 America) fires away, her character visibly pregnant. Gunfire dominates the snippet, culminating in a glimpse of a child. A woman’s voice off-screen asks, «What are you going to do with that kid?»
The plot of One Battle After Another remains shrouded in mystery. All we know is it unfolds in the present day. Whispers suggest it might center on a martial arts trainer, though the teaser offers little to confirm if DiCaprio fits that role.
Behind the camera is Paul Thomas Anderson, the visionary who helmed Oscar-nominated gems like Phantom Thread (2017) and Licorice Pizza (2021). The cast boasts heavy hitters like Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, Wood Harris, Regina Hall, and D.W. Moffett. Variety pegs the film’s budget at a hefty $100–140 million—unverified but in blockbuster territory if true.
One Battle After Another storms into theaters worldwide on August 8.
