The Amateur: Official Trailer, Poster, And 4 HQ Images Released

20th Century has released the official trailer, poster, and four high-quality images from The Amateur. It will be released in theaters on April 11, 2025.

20th Century is having an excellent year. For a little while, and even more so during the pandemic, it seemed like Disney didn't know what to do with this new arm of its studio. However, this summer, Disney dominated the box office for multiple months, and aside from Inside Out 2, all those films were connected to 20th Century. Even the films that didn't do as well, like The First Omen back in April, still did pretty damn well and didn't have a massive budget. Last weekend, at D23 Brasil, 20 Century promoted Avatar: Fire and Ash, which made sense, but the other film they decided to promote at that convention of all conventions was The Amateur. It's an espionage spy thriller where the nerd is the scariest person in the room because he doesn't look dangerous. They premiered the first trailer there, and no one seemed to say much. Today, 20 Century released the trailer, a poster, and two images to the public.

The Amateur is emerging from the depths of development hell since it was first announced that the book would get the big screen treatment in late November. At the time, Hugh Jackman was attached to a star, which seems to go against the entire premise of the story. It stalled out and didn't get any traction until early 2023. It was initially supposed to come out this month but was delayed to April 11, 2025, earlier this year.
