Next Goal Wins: Thomas Gets An American Samoan Welcome In A New Clip

Searchlight has released a new clip from Taika Waititi's Next Goal Wins, and we get to see Thomas [Michael Fassbender] get a warm American Samaon welcome.

We get a new Taika Waititi film next month when Next Goal Wins is released on November 17th. It's sort of his next film since Waititi actually filmed this before he filmed Thor: Love and Thunder, but sometimes things get weird, and this is how they play out. There have been some lukewarm festival reactions so far, but festivals often aren't kind to films that are just pretty good. Initial reactions at festivals tend to swing in one extreme or the other, so we'll have to see how this one plays out once more press members get the chance to see it. Searchlight released a new clip, and we see Thomas [Michael Fassbender] get a "warm American Samaon welcome" as he arrives on the island.
