The Trailer For ‘Maria’ Shows Us Exactly Why Angelina Jolie’s Receiving So Much Oscar Buzz

Buy Me A Coffee

Angelina Jolie is now officially a soprano. In the debut trailer for Maria, the Oscar-winner transforms into the legendary Maria Callas, giving us high notes, high drama, and, let’s be honest, probably some high-maintenance diva behavior.

Directed by Pablo Larraรญn (aka the mastermind behind Spencer), the film dives into the life of Callas, the American-Greek opera icon. After decades of dazzling stages, throwing shade, and living the most extra life imaginable, Callas retreats to Paris to do what we all wish we could: reflect, soul search, and maybe throw a wine glass or two in peace. Maria zooms in on these final days as the diva tackles the ultimate existential question: Who am I?โ€”besides someone with pipes that could shatter crystal chandeliers.

But itโ€™s not all about Angelina channeling the spirit of Callas. The movie also packs in a star-studded buffet of talent, including Pierfrancesco Favino, Alba Rohrwacher, Valeria Golino, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Haluk Bilginer. These are names you pretend youโ€™ve heard of to sound cultured, but trust meโ€”they all deliver performances as polished as Jolieโ€™s cheekbones.

Circle those calendars: Maria will hit select theaters in the U.S. on November 27โ€”because nothing says โ€œHappy Thanksgivingโ€ like existential crises and opera. For those of you whoโ€™d rather Netflix and belt (instead of Netflix and chill), it lands on the streaming platform December 11.

Oh, and did I mention the film got an 8-minute standing ovation at The Venice Film Festival? Thatโ€™s longer than some of my relationships. Word on the street is that Angelinaโ€™s portrayal is so good, she might just have to make room on her mantel for another Oscar. (Her other trophies are already in therapy over the competition.)
