Martin McDonagh, the acclaimed writer and director known for his darkly comedic crime thrillers, is returning with a new film called Wild Horse Nine. McDonagh, who has received seven Academy Award nominations and won for his short film Six Shooter, is continuing his streak of critically praised movies after the success of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and The Banshees of Inisherin. Wild Horse Nine promises more of his signature humor and quirky characters. The film is scheduled to be released on November 6, 2026, potentially putting it in contention for awards season.
McDonagh again writes and directs Wild Horse Nine, which reunites him with a few past collaborators and adds new faces to the impressive cast. The new thriller stars Sam Rockwell, John Malkovich, Steve Buscemi, Mariana di Girolamo, Ailín Salas, Tom Waits, and Parker Posey. Along with the new YouTube trailer, Searchlight Pictures shared a synopsis for McDonagh’s latest film, a fictional story set amid the real 1973 Chilean coup. Rockwell and Malkovich lead the cast as CIA agents caught up in the chaos when an unlikely bond potentially threatens to derail their mission. The synopsis for Wild Horse Nine reads:
Just before the 1973 coup in Chile, CIA agents Chris and Lee are sent from Santiago to Easter Island by their boss, MJ. While surrounded by the island’s famous statues, the two longtime partners grapple with troubling secrets from their past and current schemes. Chris’s growing connection with a pair of outspoken students threatens to derail their mission and everyone involved in this isolated location.
This is a developing story with more details to follow.
