The highly anticipated follow-up to “Everything Everywhere All at Once” from the Oscar-winning duo Daniels has been added back to Universal‘s upcoming slate. With a buzz already surrounding their next project, this untitled feature film is scheduled for a theatrical release on November 19, 2027. This announcement of Daniels’ event film back on Universal calendar signals a major milestone for fans eagerly awaiting the next cinematic adventure from the acclaimed directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.
Return to Universal
Originally slated for release on June 12, 2026, Daniels’ event film fell off Universal’s schedule earlier this year. The movie’s reappearance on the calendar marks the directors’ first foray into Universal Pictures under a significant deal established in the summer of 2022. This partnership was secured shortly before their breakout hit “Everything Everywhere All at Once” garnered multiple Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay, solidifying their reputation in Hollywood.
Success at the Box Office
“Everything Everywhere All at Once” was a resounding success, earning over $100 million worldwide on a modest $15 million budget. This triumph not only elevated Daniels’ status in the film industry but also showcased their unique storytelling abilities. While the specifics of Daniels’ event film back on Universal calendar remain undisclosed, the anticipation surrounding their next project is palpable, with fans eager to see how they will expand their creative horizons.
Teaming Up with Universal
After securing their Universal deal, Daniels have ventured into different creative realms, most notably directing an episode of the “Star Wars” TV series “The Skeleton Crew.” Despite their recent activities, details about their upcoming feature film are closely guarded. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, they expressed the challenge of transitioning from indie films to high-budget studio projects. “We love to chase things that could almost be a catastrophe,” remarked Kwan. Meanwhile, Scheinert added, “We thrive on being told no, in moderation… I am nervous about having a budget that makes us not have those tough conversations.”
The return of Daniels’ event film back on Universal calendar for 2027 presents an exciting future for moviegoers. As anticipation continues to build, fans and industry insiders alike are eager to see what the innovative directors have in store for their next cinematic chapter.
