Adam Driver's New R-Rated Chris Rock Movie Officially Debuts First Trailer

Adam Driver fans are on top of the world right now following the news that he will star as Mister Sinister in Marvel's new X-Men movie, which is coming to theaters in 2028. Driver has a well-established relationship with properties under the Disney umbrella — he starred as Kylo Ren in a trilogy of Star Wars sequel movies, and there were even whispers that he would come back and star in a new film under director Steven Soderbergh, The Hunt for Ben Solo. While Disney has yet to come out and say the film is officially dead, the studio does keep using the term "back burner" to refer to the current development state of The Hunt for Ben Solo, which is never a good sign. With as many projects as Driver has coming in the next year or two, though, he certainly isn't stressing over it.

Adam Driver has been tapped to star in one of the lead roles in Chris Rock's new movie, Misty Green, which is coming to select theaters in October. In addition to starring in the film, Rock also wrote and directed Misty Green, and this will be his first directorial feature in over 10 years since he last directed Top Five in 2014. Rock has enlisted other big stars like Rosalind Eleazar, Anna Kendrick, and even Daniel Kaluuya to star in his new comedic drama. This is especially big news for Daniel Kaluuya, who has not starred in a movie since 2023's Across the Spider-Verse. Even that was an animated film, though — it's been since 2022's Nope that Kaluuya featured in a live-action role, so Rock clearly has something special to get him to come out of the woodwork.

What Is 'Misty Green' About?

Misty Green follows a talented actress who fights for life in the second half of her career now that she's years removed from her big Hollywood breakthrough. Misty Green has already premiered for select critics, and the film holds a solid 69% on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. This also comes from 26 reviews, so while it is subject to change, it's a large enough sample size that it likely won't shift too far in either direction. Topher Grace, famed for his role as Eddie Brock in Spider-Man 3, will also star in a key role in Misty Green.
