Johnny Depp is stepping back into leading-man territory, and the first look at Day Drinker is nothing short of intense. The revenge thriller, directed by Marc Webb, dropped its first trailer and it’s packed with blood, tension, and Depp swinging an axe like he’s got nothing to lose. The film casts Depp as a mysterious guest aboard a private yacht, opposite Madelyn Cline, who plays a bartender caught in the middle of something way bigger than a vacation fling.
Penélope Cruz rounds out the main cast as a criminal figure who pulls both characters into her orbit. The trailer hints at a story full of double-crosses, dangerous alliances, and the kind of violence that makes you grip your popcorn a little tighter. Webb, known for the Amazing Spider-Man films and the live-action Snow White, is clearly flexing a darker skill set here.
Day Drinker hits theaters on March 26, 2027, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about releases of that spring. Whether you’re here for Depp’s comeback, Cline’s next move, or Cruz being effortlessly menacing, there’s a lot to unpack. Are you planning to see Day Drinker in theaters, or are you waiting for streaming?
