*A24 has released the first trailer for “Mother Mary,” a darkly seductive musical drama starring Anne Hathaway as a fictional pop star.
Set for an April 2026 release, the film sees Hathaway portraying Mother Mary, a performer reconnecting with her estranged friend and former costume designer, Sam Anselm, played by Michaela Coel.
“Long-buried wounds rise to the surface when iconic pop star Mother Mary reunites with her estranged best friend and former costume designer Sam Anselm (Coel, 38) on the eve of her comeback performance,” per the official synopsis.
In a July Vogue cover story, Hathaway explained her process behind inhabiting the mind and body of a pop star.
“The humility of that — showing up every day knowing you’re going to suck. And it has to be okay. You’re not ‘bad.’ You’re just a beginner,” she said. “Getting to that mindset — I had to shed some things that were hard to shed. It was welcome. But it was hard, the way transformational experiences can be hard.”
