Black Bear Pictures has released the first trailer for Wicker, and if this preview is any indication, audiences are in for something wonderfully weird, funny, and completely unlike anything else arriving in theaters this fall. The visual effects work from Weta is astonishing, making the character feel surprisingly lifelike while still preserving his handcrafted wicker appearance. Wicker was co-written and co-directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, reuniting after their delightfully inventive feature debut, Save Yourselves!. This looks like one of the year's most original comedies, blending romance, fantasy, satire, and social commentary into something that feels refreshingly different. If the film delivers on everything this trailer promises, Wicker could end up being one of the biggest pleasant surprises of 2026.
