2025 could be the year that rom-coms finally make a comeback.
We’ve already been blessed with Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy – which we loved!

At least, that’s what we gleaned from the newly released trailer (which you can watch above).
Read on for everything you need to know about Materialists…

What is the plot of Materialists?
Materialists – written and directed by Academy Award nominee Celine Song – follows Lucy, a successful matchmaker.
But when Lucy becomes entangled in a toxic love triangle between Randy, a millionaire she met at a client’s wedding, and John, her feckless ex, she risks jeopardising her career.
Who stars in the movie Materialists?
Dakota Johnson – Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson’s daughter who’s best known for starring in the Fifty Shades of Grey films – stars in Materialists as Lucy.
And her two love interests, Randy and John, are played by Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans respectively.
Zoë Winters, Marin Ireland, Dasha Nekrasova, Louisa Jacobson, Sawyer Spielberg, Eddie Cahill, and Fernando Belo round out the Materialists cast.
What does ‘materialist’ mean?
The term materialist has different meanings depending on context.
In everyday usage, a materialist is someone who prioritises wealth, possessions, and material comforts over spiritual or intellectual pursuits.
It’s likely the movie is called Materialists as the plot revolves around Lucy trying to decide between two men: Randy, who is wealthy, and John, who is not.
AKA she’s deciding whether or not to prioritise wealth.
