Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel are set to trade barbs as they star in "Mother Mary", the long-awaited drama that pits pop culture icons against each other. In the film's first trailer, Hathaway plays a pop sensation, while Coel takes on the role of her estranged fashion designer - making for a combustible pairing.
Director David Lowery has described the movie as a "psychosexual pop thriller", which hints at the fraught relationship between his leads as they reunite to create a dress. The film is being touted as a wild ride, drawing comparisons to Francis Ford Coppola's "Dracula" and Apocalypse Now.
The trailer offers a glimpse into the charged dynamic between Hathaway's character and Coel's, with plenty of tension simmering just below the surface. Lowery has acknowledged that the movie will be "provoke strong feelings", leaving audiences polarized from start to finish.
It appears Lowery drew inspiration from his own darker experiences for this film, saying it feels like a "weird, weird film" he never saw coming. The original music has been penned by Charli xcx, Jack Antonoff and FKA twigs, with Hathaway providing vocals.
"Mother Mary" is set to hit theaters in April 2026, after production got underway in Germany last May. With Coel also starring alongside Ian McKellen in "The Christophers", both actresses are keeping busy ahead of the film's release.

just heard about this new movie "Mother Mary" and i'm low-key freaking out 
anne hathaway and michaela coel playing pop culture icons against each other? that sounds like a recipe for drama 
and the fact that david lowery drew inspiration from his own darker experiences makes me think it's gonna be super intense 
but at the same time, charli xcx's music is giving me LIFE 
cant wait to see what they're working with here 
Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel are giving me LIFE, but at the same time I'm a little worried about how intense it's gonna get between them 
. The original music sound is giving me some serious '90s alt-rock feels 
and Charli xcx's vocals are EVERYTHING 
. April 2026 can't come soon enough – I'm ready to be shook up by this psychosexual pop thriller 
I'm low-key excited for this one! It sounds like a real drama fest, you know? 
The fact that it's drawing comparisons to Coppola and Apocalypse Now is just wild. I'm not sure if I'm ready for this level of drama in my life, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on "Mother Mary". Can't wait to see how it all plays out! 
. Coel and McKellen in "The Christophers" sounds like a great combo too - I'm intrigued!
! The trailer looks intense, can't wait to see the drama unfold...and I'm curious to know what inspired David Lowery to create such a wild ride. Hopefully, it'll be a thought-provoking film that challenges our expectations 
. With Francis Ford Coppola's "Dracula" and Apocalypse Now as comparisons, I'm expecting something epic. Charli xcx, Jack Antonoff, and FKA twigs on the soundtrack? Sounds like a fascinating mix of sounds 
... think we've seen enough drama in pop culture already and now you're gonna throw two powerful women at each other? I mean, what's next, a rom-com where they have to choose between being besties or rivals? Give me a break! I don't care about Anne Hathaway or Michaela Coel trying to outdo each other, can't we just enjoy the music and drama without all the trash talk? And btw, who thought it was a good idea to cast Charli xcx on the original soundtrack 
can't wait to see how they bring these characters to life 
and the soundtrack with charli xcx, jack antonoff, and fka twigs is giving me LIFE
