MOVIE NEWS – The second trailer for One Battle After Another has Leonardo DiCaprio running for his life, and we’re right there with him. Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest project promises to be one of the most original and adrenaline-pumping films of the year.

Warner Bros. has dropped the second official trailer for One Battle After Another, with DiCaprio’s former revolutionary frantically searching for his daughter, caught up in one heart-pounding showdown after another. The film jumps between past and present, fleshing out the protagonist’s explosive history and his great love. The star-studded cast features Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti, Wood Harris, and Alana Haim. Watch the trailer below.

This is Anderson’s first IMAX release, and these new scenes show he’s pulling out all the stops. With a reported budget over $115 million, it’s easily the most expensive movie of his career. The 11-time Oscar nominee—known for masterpieces like There Will Be Blood and The Master—has officially stepped into blockbuster territory. One Battle After Another still bears Anderson’s unmistakable visual signature and technical brilliance, but its mix of genres hints at a wild, unpredictable ride that shows the acclaimed director has plenty of surprises left.

One Battle After Another: A Collaboration Decades in the Making

When Leonardo DiCaprio and Paul Thomas Anderson debuted their long-awaited collaboration at CinemaCon this spring, DiCaprio joked that he’d been waiting 20 years for this moment. Anderson has worked with legends like Daniel Day-Lewis, Adam Sandler, and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, but now DiCaprio finally joins those ranks. According to the Oscar-winning actor, One Battle After Another isn’t your typical action-comedy—it’s a film that digs deep into cultural and political currents beneath the surface.

“I’ve been wanting to work with Paul for, gosh, 20 years now. With this film he’s tapped into something politically and culturally that’s burning beneath our psyche.”
