The Day Drinker trailer puts Johnny Depp on a private yacht, where a mysterious guest, a bartender and a criminal figure become tangled in a revenge story with possible supernatural edges. Lionsgate has set the film for cinemas on March 26, 2027.
The trailer follows a yacht bartender played by Madelyn Cline after she meets Depp’s unnamed passenger. Penelope Cruz plays the criminal figure at the centre of the film’s wider trouble. Marc Webb, who directed The Amazing Spider-Man, directs from a script by Zach Dean.
Depp’s character is arrested, smiles at the camera and says he has made a living out of misbehaviour. He then describes his story as a possible tale of revenge, or a ghost story, before asking whether he might simply be “another day drinker”. The trailer closes with a line that is less cryptic: “I’m done when I say I’m done.”
IGN points out that the dialogue appears to nod at Depp’s public return to major studio films. The actor’s next studio-backed release is Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, due in November, while Day Drinker is his second major-distributor project since the legal battles that kept him away from mainstream Hollywood productions for several years. Johnny Depp’s Ebenezer trailer already introduced that comeback.
Day Drinker trailer: who is in the cast?
Depp, Cline and Cruz lead the film, with Javier Botet also listed in the cast. Depp and Cruz have previously appeared together in Blow, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Murder on the Orient Express. Their possible return to the Pirates franchise remains a separate, unconfirmed story.
When does Day Drinker release?
Lionsgate plans to release Day Drinker in cinemas on March 26, 2027. No UAE cinema date or local distributor announcement has been confirmed yet. The official trailer is available on Lionsgate’s YouTube channel, while IGN’s trailer report provides the dialogue and comeback context.
Is Day Drinker a sequel?
No. Day Drinker is an original thriller directed by Marc Webb and written by Zach Dean, rather than a continuation of one of Depp or Cruz’s earlier films.
Will Day Drinker be released in the UAE?
A UAE cinema date has not been confirmed. The announced international theatrical date is March 26, 2027, so local listings will need to be checked closer to release.
Are Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz working together again?
Yes. Day Drinker is their fourth film together, following Blow, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Murder on the Orient Express.
