Before Taika Waititi returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he’ll give us Jojo Rabbit, a sure-to-be-buzzed-about dark comedy.

Sam Rockwell, Scarlett Johansson, Rebel Wilson, Stephen Merchant, Alfie Allen, Leave No Trace breakout Tomasin McKenzie, and newcomer Roman Griffin star along with Waititi. Watch the Jojo Rabbit trailer below.

Jojo Rabbit has been on our radar around here for months. Any new film from Taika Waititi is worth paying attention to. But then you take a look at the film’s synopsis, and think, “How can I not see this?”:
It’s clear producers think they have something special on their hands here because they’re positioning Jojo Rabbit for both festival season, and an awards season run. In fact, the film is set to have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
“Taika is a master at bringing honesty and humanity to the surface in any story, all while allowing us to laugh. We could not be more thrilled to join him in the remarkable journey of Jojo Rabbit,” said Presidents of Production Matthew Greenfield and David Greenbaum.
Jojo Rabbit opens October 18, 2019.
