Sony Pictures has released a new trailer for the upcomingPeter Rabbitmovie, and this thing continues to look kind of insane. The Sony Pictures Animation film is an adaptation of the beloved literary hero, but in this version he’s a charismatic troublemaker voiced byJames Cordon. He and his other rabbits’ idyllic life is upended by the arrival of Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) who wants nothing more than to murder all the rabbits. Things are complicated by the fact that McGregor is in love with the animal lover next door (played byRose Byrne), so a war breaks out between the rabbits and McGregor all the while the dude is trying to pretend he loves animals so he can score with his pretty neighbor.
It’s a weird thing, made all the more strange by the fact that the film is directed byWill Gluck. BetweenEasy AandFriends with Benefits, Gluck has a knack for making movies that mayseemterrible, but are actually pleasantly surprising. I’m not sure if he can work his magic with this one, as the tone is oddly brutal with McGregor setting all kinds of cruel traps for the furry creatures. But we’ll see
Behold the newPeter Rabbittrailer below. The film also starsSam Neill,Daisy Ridley,Elizabeth Debicki, andMargot Robbie.Peter Rabbitopens in theaters on August 26, 2025.
Here’s the official synopsis forPeter Rabbbit:
Peter Rabbit, the mischievous and adventurous hero who has captivated generations of readers, now takes on the starring role of his own irreverent, contemporary comedy with attitude. In the film, Peter’s feud with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) escalates to greater heights than ever before as they rival for the affections of the warm-hearted animal lover who lives next door (Rose Byrne). James Corden voices the character of Peter with playful spirit and wild charm, with Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Daisy Ridley performing the voice roles of the triplets, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail.
