Jackson, Anne Hathaway (in the title role), Michael Rooker, Lucas Black, Chris Pratt, Millie Bobby Brown, Laurence Fishburne, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Viola Davis, Don Johnson, Christoph Waltz, and Robert Downey Jr., and it follows a legendary bounty hunter as she is approached by another, who offers to help her kill the people responsible for the deaths of her family and the kidnapping of her sister if she helps him first to rescue a group of slaves, to which she agrees. The Phantom Wolf was released in theaters on March 1st, 2025. The film was a financial box-office success, grossing $921 million worldwide; it became the highest-grossing western film of all time and surpassed Django Unchained. It received critical and universal acclaim, mainly for the action sequences, visuals, story, Hans Zimmer's score and Hathaway's performance, but its graphic violence and usage of racist words drew controversy. The film overall was deemed an emotional wreck, namely for its heartbreaking ending. A prequel entitled The Phantom Wolf: Russell is scheduled to be released on October 8th, 2026, while a proper sequel is also in development.
