Dakota Johnson’s matchmaker Lucy is torn between Pedro Pascal’s perfect stranger and Chris Evans’ irresistible ex in Materialists

Dakota Johnson Must Choose Between Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal in Dramatic Materialists Trailer - YouTube

Chris Evans, Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson are caught in a tricky love triangle in their new movie.

Writer-director Celine Song’s rom-com Materialists (in theaters June 13), her follow-up to the Oscar-nominated Past Lives, casts Johnson, 35, as Lucy, a modern matchmaker whose professional life grows complicated after her own love life is thrust into the spotlight when she meets a potential new lover named Harry (Pascal, 49) at an event and coincidentally reconnects with her ex John (Evans, 43) the same night.

As the highly anticipated A24 movie’s newly released trailer indicates, that toxicity stems from Evans and Pascal’s characters vying for Lucy’s affection. John is shown asking Lucy if she intends on marrying Harry, whom seemingly wants to marry Lucy — and the complicated love triangle even puts a strain on Lucy’s confidence in her career.

“A young, ambitious New York City matchmaker finds herself torn between the perfect match and her imperfect ex,” reads an official synopsis for the film.
