The A24-backed film follows Dakota Johnson as Lucy, a successful New York matchmaker who is good at finding love but only for other people. That is, until she is forced to choose between an older man of means, played by Pedro Pascal, and John, an old friend and struggling actor turned waiter, who is played by Evans.

The Materialists, Celine Song's follow-up to her 2023 indie romantic drama Past Lives, stars Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans.
