‘Mother Mary’ Trailer: Anne Hathaway Is a Pop Diva Having an Existential Crisis in A24 Drama

A24 has released the official trailer for “Mother Mary,” the music drama starring Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel.

Directed and written by David Lowery (“The Green Knight,” “A Ghost Story”), “Mother Mary” follows Hathaway as a pop star who, after abandoning her tour due to an existential crisis, seeks out an old friend and fashion designer, Sam (Coel), who helped craft her public persona.

“Mother Mary” features original songs written by music heavyweights Jack Antonoff, Charli xcx and FKA Twigs, who also appears in the film. Additional cast members include Hunter Schafer, Atheena Frizzell, Kaia Gerber, Jessica Brown Findlay, Alba Baptista and Sian Clifford.

In a Vogue cover story released in July, Hathaway said of her role, “What struck me right away, reading the script, is that you can’t ‘perform’ Mother Mary. If I got the part, I would have to become material David could craft with. … I had to submit to being a beginner. 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. 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.”

“It’s very brave work that she’s done,” Coel said of Hathaway. “The physicality she had to learn in preparation for this job — and it’s not just us in [that scene], it’s the crew, it’s the producers, and so of course this day was terrifying, a little monster on her shoulder, but no one realized until after the first take. And then to keep doing it — take after take. That requires a lot of strength. Gallons and tons.”

“Mother Mary” hits theaters in April 2026. Watch the trailer below.
