Leonardo DiCaprio Stars in Paul Thomas Anderson’s "One Battle After Another"
Leonardo DiCaprio will take the lead in the highly anticipated film "One Battle After Another," directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. DiCaprio, along with his co-stars Regina Hall and Teyana Taylor, made appearances at CinemaCon 2025 to share insights about what he described as an "incredibly epic" movie.
Set to hit theaters on September 26, 2025, "One Battle After Another" is already generating buzz among film enthusiasts. At the event in Las Vegas, DiCaprio expressed his excitement about finally working with Anderson, a filmmaker he has admired for nearly two decades. He hailed Anderson as "one of the most unique talents of our time," known for acclaimed works including "Boogie Nights" and "There Will Be Blood."
The film features a talented cast that includes Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn, Regina Hall, and Teyana Taylor. It is reportedly inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s novel "Vineland" and revolves around a group of former revolutionaries who come together to save one of their own when an old enemy resurfaces after 16 years.
During his remarks, DiCaprio praised Anderson’s unique directing style, highlighting his openness to allowing actors to explore their characters. He noted that many writer-directors can be quite rigid but that Anderson fosters a more collaborative environment.
Hall and Taylor echoed DiCaprio’s sentiments about the film’s tone. Hall described it as both humorous and heartfelt, while Taylor talked about her complex character, who struggles with being misunderstood and self-centered.
In a notable move, DiCaprio recently launched his own YouTube channel to share the trailer for "One Battle After Another." He encouraged his followers to subscribe for updates on his upcoming projects.
CinemaCon runs from March 31 to April 3, 2025, and the excitement continues to build as fans await the film’s release later this year.
