‘One Battle After Another’ Teaser: Teyana Taylor Stars Oppposite Leonardo DiCaprio (Video)

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the first teaser for One Battle After Another, the latest cinematic venture from acclaimed director Paul Thomas Anderson, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Sean Penn.

Set for release on September 26, 2025, in theaters and IMAX, the teaser sets the stage for a contemporary tale rumored to draw inspiration from Thomas Pynchon’s novel Vineland. The short teaser arrives before a full trailer next week.

The clip, clocking in at just under a minute, wastes no time plunging viewers into Anderson’s world. DiCaprio, sporting a rugged look complete with unkempt hair and a weathered jacket, appears as a man on the edge—intense and unpredictable. A fleeting shot shows him sprinting through a dimly lit street, hinting at the high-stakes action to come. Taylor, in her most prominent film role yet, matches DiCaprio’s energy with a steely gaze and a commanding presence, suggesting a character as fierce as she is complex. Though the plot remains a mystery, the teaser’s rapid cuts of car chases, tense confrontations, and moody California landscapes signal a departure from Anderson’s typically introspective style toward something more visceral.

The film is scheduled to be released on August 8 by Warner Bros. Pictures. Watch the teaser below:
