June Squibb is Eleanor the Great in trailer for Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut

August 12, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Sony Pictures Classics has released a trailer, poster and images for Eleanor the Great, the upcoming drama which marks the directorial debut for Scarlett Johansson.

June Squibb stars as Eleanor, a 94-year-old woman who moves to Manhattan following a devastating loss, where she tells a tale which takes on a dangerous life of its own.

Joining Squibb in the cast are Erin Kellyman, Jessica Hecht, Rita Zohar, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Check out the trailer below…

In Eleanor The Great, June Squibb brings to vivid life the witty and proudly troublesome 94-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein, who after a devastating loss, tells a tale that takes on a dangerous life of its own. Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut is a comically poignant exploration of how the stories we hear become the stories we tell.

Eleanor the Great arrives in cinemas on September 26th.
