The Daniels, Creators of Oscar-Winning ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once,’ Announce New Sci-Fi Action Comedy
The Oscar-winning phenomenon “Everything Everywhere All At Once” has long cemented its place in the science fiction genre canon. Now, the acclaimed filmmakers behind this masterpiece, known as “The Daniels,” are making a highly anticipated return to ambitious sci-fi cinema.
Universal Pictures Schedules The Daniels’ Next Sci-Fi Action Comedy for 2027
Universal Pictures recently announced a theatrical release date of November 19, 2027, for an undisclosed film. Despite the distant date, exciting details have emerged regarding the project set to debut on the big screen that day. It has been confirmed that this will be the new venture from “The Daniels,” the visionary duo comprising Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan.
This dynamic pair is primarily responsible for the box office hit and critical darling, “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” It’s worth recalling that this groundbreaking science fiction film garnered the most Academy Awards, securing seven Oscars from eleven nominations at the 2023 ceremony.
New Film Promises Existential Themes and High-Octane Action
Intriguingly, Scheinert and Kwan are continuing their exploration of science fiction themes. The film slated for November 2027 is described as a “sci-fi action comedy,” with filming scheduled to commence this coming summer. These details were confirmed by Daniel Kwan himself in an interview with Collider.
“We start shooting this summer, and if all goes according to plan, the premiere will be in November 2027. It will be a funny sci-fi comedy with a lot of action and a big heart. Very existential. You’ll find everything you can expect from our films. The world is getting more and more complex, so I think one of my jobs as a storyteller is to adapt to the current situation.”

Kwan’s statement suggests fans can expect a film rich in their signature blend of humor, action, and profound existential pondering, reflecting the intricate complexities of the modern world.
High Expectations for the Talented Filmmaking Duo
It’s important to note that “The Daniels,” despite the monumental success of “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” are still relatively early in their feature filmmaking careers. Both filmmakers, aged 38, have collaboratively worked on only two full-length productions prior to this announcement.
- “Swiss Army Man” (2016): Their debut feature was a low-budget dramedy starring Daniel Radcliffe, showcasing their unique storytelling approach.
- “Everything Everywhere All At Once” (2022): This Oscar-winning hit brought the duo immense fame and critical acclaim, solidifying their status as innovative filmmakers.
Now, “The Daniels” are embarking on their third collaborative feature film, which already carries significant anticipation. This is particularly true given its placement within the science fiction genre, a domain where the duo has demonstrably excelled. The question remains: was their previous success a fortunate stroke of genius from relatively inexperienced filmmakers, or a clear indication of their unparalleled talent? We will undoubtedly find out in November 2027, provided the film does not experience any of the production delays that have become increasingly common in Hollywood in recent years.
