Elizabeth Olsen (WandaVision) is stuck with a difficult decision that affects her afterlife in A24’s second trailer for Eternity. Apparently, once you pass away, you’re only allowed to choose one significant other to pass eternity with.
Miles Teller (The Gorge) stars as Olsen’s longtime husband, and Callum Turner (Masters of the Air) plays her very first love. The romantic comedy also stars John Early and Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
David Freyne co-wrote the screenplay with Pat Cunnane and directs. Producers include Tim White and Trevor White. Freyne’s behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Ruairí O’Brien, production designer Zazu Myers, editor Joe Sawyer, and costume designer Angus Strathie.
“I’ve dreamed all my life of making rom-coms in the vein of Lubitsch, Wilder, and Sturges,” said Freyne. “I adore that era when people believed rom-coms could say everything, could be the deepest films, no matter how feathery their touch. And here was my chance. Eternity might be set in the afterlife, but what mattered to me is the characters are caught up in conflicts that feel very human and very true to our experiences.”
A24 offers this synopsis: “In an afterlife where souls have one week to decide where to spend eternity, Joan (Olsen) is faced with the impossible choice between the man she spent her life with (Teller) and her first love (Turner), who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive.”
Opens in theaters on Wednesday, November 26, 2025.
