Renowned filmmaker Guy Ritchie, celebrated for his sharp British crime dramas and gangster films — including his two Sherlock Holmes features with Robert Downey Jr. — is venturing into uncharted territory. The newly released trailer for Fountain of Youth reveals Ritchie's pivot into swashbuckling adventure, channeling the spirit of Indiana Jones and The Mummy.
The film stars John Krasinski and Natalie Portman as estranged siblings Luke and Charlotte, who reunite for a perilous quest to locate the mythical Fountain of Youth. The action-packed trailer also introduces supporting players Eiza González, Stanley Tucci, Domhnall Gleeson, Laz Alonso, and Arian Moayed — some of whom appear to oppose our protagonists.
The preview establishes high-stakes conflict between factions vying for the legendary artifact. "There's a power beyond any of our comprehension," Krasinski's character warns in the trailer. "One story, five continents, dozens of cultures, and over a thousand years." This historical mystery promises explosive cinematic action — Ritchie's signature style ensuring thrilling sequences.
Fountain of Youth arrives exclusively on Apple TV+ on May 23, 2025, marking another major streaming release destined to bypass theaters — a growing trend highlighting the platforms' increasing industry dominance. While cinema purists may lament this distribution choice, the film's globetrotting adventure still holds tremendous appeal for home viewing.
