Terrific Trailer for ‘Wicker’ Husband Movie with Colman & Skarsgård​

“I heard he’s strong as a tree – and just as hard.” Black Bear Pictures has unveiled their excellent official trailer for the film titled Wicker, a hilarious and sharp satire about the perfect husband. This premiered to great reviews at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year (here’s mine) and it’s set to hit theaters starting in October. “A hard man is good to find.” An ostracized fisherwoman commissions the peculiar local basketmaker to weave her a husband, but when her wicker creation proves unexpectedly extraordinary, his presence ignites jealousy & upheaval that threatens their quiet village. Wicker stars Olivia Colman as the fisherwoman, Alexander Skarsgård as her wicker husband, plus Elizabeth Debicki, Ella Bruccoleri, Richard E. Grant, Nabhaan Rizwan, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, and Peter Dinklage as the basket weaver. From the same two filmmakers behind the Save Yourselves! film recently. This is a near perfect trailer! The editing is fun and clever, and it really makes me want to watch this film and talk about how great it is. Plus finally they show how amazing the Wicker Man himself looks! Astonishing work by Weta making it realistic.

Here’s the official trailer (+ posters) for Alex Huston Fischer & Eleanor Wilson’s film Wicker, via YouTube:

An audacious comedic fable about sex, marriage, and the absurdities of social convention, Wicker tells the wholly original love story of an ostracized fisherwoman (Olivia Colman) who commissions a husband to be made by the local basketmaker (Peter Dinklage). When her wicker husband (Alexander Skarsgård) proves more spectacular than she ever imagined, his soulful spirit and unique prowess awaken something inside her, setting off a wave of jealousy, fascination, and upheaval that threatens the very fabric of village life. Wicker is co-directed and co-written by the filmmaking duo Alex Huston Fischer & Eleanor Wilson, their second feature film after making Save Yourselves! previously. Produced by Olivia Colman, Ed Sinclair, Tom Carver, David Michôd, Brad Zimmerman, Justin Lothrop, Brent Stiefel. This first premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year (read our review). Black Bear Pictures debuts Fischer & Wilson’s Wicker film in US theaters starting October 23rd, 2026 this fall. Yep it’s entirely worth a watch.
