Wicker film starring Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård releases trailer
A trailer for the offbeat comedy‑drama Wicker has been released, showcasing an eccentric love story set in a fictitious seaside village. Olivia Colman plays an ostracised fisherwoman who commissions a local basketmaker, portrayed by Peter Dinklage, to weave her a husband made entirely of wicker. The husband, brought to life by Alexander Skarsgård, appears in a full‑body prosthetic created by Wētā Workshop.
Wicker is written and directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson and adapts Ursula Wills‑Jones’s short story “The Wicker Husband.” The film also features Elizabeth Debicki, Richard E. Grant and other supporting actors. It premiered at Sundance, earning strong reviews, and is scheduled for a limited theatrical release on 23 October 2026, expanding worldwide on 30 October 2026 (UK release on 30 October). The production highlights elaborate costume work and a satirical take on marriage and social convention.
The trailer has generated notable online buzz, especially surrounding the elaborate wicker prosthetics, including the unusually detailed “wicker nipples” on Skarsgård’s suit.
