In what is shaping up to be one of spring’s most anticipated streaming releases, Guy Ritchie’s new adventure epic FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH has revealed its first full trailer, showcasing an intriguing partnership between John Krasinski and Natalie Portman as estranged siblings embarking on a global quest for immortality.

The trailer introduces us to Krasinski’s character Luke, who reluctantly reaches out to his sister Charlotte (Portman) for help in locating the mythological Fountain of Youth. Their strained relationship is immediately evident when she answers his call with suspicion: “Are you in trouble? You only call when you’re in trouble.” This family tension provides the emotional backbone for what appears to be a globe-trotting adventure spanning “five continents, dozens of cultures, over thousands of years,” as Luke explains in the footage.

Among the stellar supporting cast, Domhnall Gleeson‘s inclusion is particularly noteworthy, marking another compelling role in what has become an impressive recent career trajectory. Following his standout performances in  EX MACHINA, Gleeson has carved out a niche playing complex characters in thought-provoking films. His involvement in FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH continues this pattern of choosing projects that balance commercial appeal with artistic substance.

The film, written by James Vanderbilt, also features Eiza González, Arian Moayed, Laz Alonso, Carmen Ejogo, and Stanley Tucci—an ensemble that promises to enhance Ritchie’s signature blend of fast-paced storytelling, sharp dialogue, and kinetic action sequences. Given Ritchie’s track record with films like THE GENTLEMEN and the SHERLOCK HOLMES franchise, audiences can expect his characteristic stylish direction applied to the treasure-hunt genre.

At its core, FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH appears to blend high-stakes adventure with deeper themes of family reconciliation, as the siblings must leverage their historical knowledge to decipher ancient clues that might lead them to immortality—while potentially healing their fractured relationship in the process. The film arrives exclusively on Apple TV+ on May 23, continuing the streaming service’s investment in star-powered original content designed to compete with traditional theatrical releases.
