Eternity comes with a price—the breathtaking first trailer for The Immortal (2025) has dropped, directed by Denis Villeneuve in his most ambitious genre fusion yet. Melding historical epic, futuristic sci-fi, and heart-wrenching drama, this sweeping saga promises to redefine the immortal hero archetype for a new generation.

The story follows Kaelen (Oscar Isaac), a man cursed with eternal life after a fateful encounter with a dying god in 6th-century Persia. Centuries later, Kaelen has lived through empires rising and falling, watching everyone he loves fade into history—until a shadow from his past resurfaces in the form of Seraphine (Ana de Armas), a brilliant but ruthless tactician who believes the secret to his immortality could save—or doom—humanity’s future.

As a global conflict brews in the year 2145, Kaelen must navigate a dangerous alliance with rogue historian Elias Voss (Benedict Cumberbatch) to uncover the origin of his curse before it falls into the hands of a militarized corporation bent on weaponizing eternity itself.

The trailer delivers haunting contrasts: ancient battlefield duels against the dust of Babylon, sleek neon-lit skirmishes in a flooded Shanghai, and intimate, quiet moments where Kaelen questions if immortality is a blessing or a prison. Cinematographer Roger Deakins paints every era with a distinct visual language, while Hans Zimmer’s score spans haunting choral laments to thunderous synth crescendos.

Villeneuve describes The Immortal as “a meditation on love, loss, and the unbearable weight of forever—wrapped in the spectacle of an epic spanning two millennia.”

With its sweeping vision, powerhouse performances, and emotional gravitas, The Immortal (2025) is shaping up to be a landmark cinematic event that transcends genres.
