Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson are back together on screen, and this time they're diving into the gritty underworld of the Russian mafia. The official trailer for their upcoming crime thriller, Paper Tiger, has just dropped, giving fans a thrilling first look at the highly anticipated film.
Directed by James Gray, known for Ad Astra and Armageddon Time, Paper Tiger also stars Miles Teller (Top Gun: Maverick). The film has already generated significant buzz after being selected for prestigious festivals like Cannes and the New York Film Festival, and it's now set to hit theaters on November 20.
What Is 'Paper Tiger' About?
According to the official synopsis, Paper Tiger follows two brothers who get entangled in a scheme that seems too good to be true. As they navigate the dangerous world of the Russian mafia, their family bond begins to fray, leading to life-altering consequences. The film currently holds an 83% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 53 reviews, signaling strong critical reception.
This marks a reunion for Driver and Johansson, who previously starred together in the Oscar-nominated Marriage Story. Their on-screen chemistry is sure to be a highlight once again, but this time in a much darker, more intense setting.
Driver's Busy Year
For Driver, Paper Tiger is just one of several exciting projects on the horizon. He recently made headlines by joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Mister Sinister in the upcoming X-Men film, which is slated for a May 5, 2028 release. The announcement, made via Zoom at D23, surprised fans who thought he might never return to Disney-owned properties after his Star Wars days. But before he suits up as the iconic villain, audiences can catch him in this gripping thriller.
Johansson, meanwhile, continues to showcase her versatility, moving seamlessly from blockbuster superhero roles to intimate dramas. Her performance in Paper Tiger is already being praised by critics, and fans are eager to see her tackle this complex character.
