Get ready for a cinematic treat in 2027—the dynamic duo Daniels is back on Universal’s calendar with their highly anticipated follow-up to Everything Everywhere All at Once! But here’s where it gets controversial: after sweeping the Oscars and grossing over $100 million on a shoestring budget, can lightning strike twice for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert? Mark your calendars for November 19, 2027, when their untitled feature hits theaters. Originally slated for June 12, 2026, the project briefly vanished from the calendar in February, leaving fans in suspense. This marks the duo’s first Universal film since signing a long-term deal in 2022, just months before their indie darling became a Hollywood phenomenon. Since then, they’ve dipped their toes into the Star Wars universe with the TV series The Skeleton Crew, but their return to the big screen is what’s truly generating buzz. In a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the pair shared their philosophy on filmmaking: ‘We love to chase things that could almost be a catastrophe,’ Kwan revealed. Scheinert added, ‘We thrive on being told no, in moderation,’ though he admitted, ‘I’m nervous about having a budget that might avoid those tough conversations.’ And this is the part most people miss: their success isn’t just about awards or box office numbers—it’s about their fearless approach to storytelling. Will their next project live up to the hype? Or will the pressures of studio filmmaking change their creative dynamic? Let’s discuss—what are your expectations for Daniels’ next masterpiece?
