Pedro Pascal’s next big screen drama is now on the awards-season calendar. Searchlight has dated Tony Gilroy’s Behemoth! for December 4th, 2026, and the first trailer has arrived.
The film centers on Alex Serian, a gifted cellist who returns to Los Angeles after 20 years on the road. According to the synopsis, music has been the constant force in his life, and it begins to carry him into an adventure that changes him forever.
A strong ensemble around Pascal
Behemoth! also stars Olivia Wilde, Eva Victor and Will Arnett. Gilroy wrote and directed the movie, and he is producing it with Sanne Wohlenberg and John Gilroy.
| Film | Release Date | Lead Cast |
|---|---|---|
| Behemoth! | December 4th, 2026 | Pedro Pascal, Olivia Wilde, Eva Victor, Will Arnett |
The project lands in a crowded stretch for prestige titles, right in the heart of awards season. On first glance, the movie is drawing comparisons to a mix of Maestro and Tár, with a musical drama frame that leans into character and tension.
Gilroy is best known for Michael Clayton, and Behemoth! marks another high-profile turn for the filmmaker. The music is credited to The Behemoth! Collective, adding another distinct piece to a film that is already positioned as one to watch in the months ahead.
It comes during a busy trailer week, with other studio previews also generating attention. But Searchlight’s date gives Behemoth! a clear place on the release calendar, and the trailer offers the first look at Pascal in a role built around music, memory, and reinvention.
