Alexander Skarsgård is set to return to the big screen in his upcoming film, The Wicker. The project is scheduled for a wide theatrical release on October 30, 2026, following an event on Friday, October 23, 2026.
Reports indicate the film serves as a reimagining of folk-horror tropes, likely parodying the atmospheric tension found in classics of that subgenre.
Release Schedule
Following the event on October 23, The Wicker will transition to a standard wide release tailored for the Halloween holiday weekend.
By positioning the wide release on October 30, the studio is leaning into the film’s supernatural and folk-horror themes. While Skarsgård has recently been associated with gritty, historical epics, The Wicker appears to be a pivot toward a more subversive tone.
