Renowned filmmaker Guy Ritchie has built his reputation on gripping British crime capers and stylish gangster films, along with his two Robert Downey Jr.-led Sherlock Holmes movies. Now, the writer-director is venturing into new territory. The trailer for his upcoming adventure film Fountain of Youth reveals a thrilling new direction for Ritchie, channeling the spirit of Indiana Jones and The Mummy.
The film features John Krasinski and Natalie Portman as estranged siblings Luke and Charlotte, who reunite to hunt for the mythical Fountain of Youth. The star-studded cast also includes Eiza González, Stanley Tucci, Domhnall Gleeson, Laz Alonso, and Arian Moayed—though the trailer hints their characters may not all be allies.
The trailer establishes competing factions vying for control of the legendary fountain. "This relic holds unimaginable power," Krasinski's character warns. "Its story spans five continents, countless cultures, and over a millennium." With stakes this high, audiences can expect pulse-pounding action sequences—a trademark of Ritchie's filmmaking style.
Currently slated for a May 23, 2025 release exclusively on Apple TV+, Fountain of Youth joins the growing list of major productions bypassing theaters. While this streaming-only approach may disappoint some cinephiles, the film's adventurous premise promises an exhilarating viewing experience regardless of platform.
