Set for release in UK and Ireland cinemas in January 2025, A Complete Unknown, directed by James Mangold, has released its first teaser trailer.

Alongside Chalamet, the film boasts a stellar cast including Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, Dan Fogler, Norbert Leo Butz and Scoot McNairy.
