Wicker is a 2026 romantic fantasy comedy film written and directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, based on the short story "The Wicker Husband" by Ursula Wills. The cast is led by Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, Elizabeth Debicki, Marli Siu, Nabhaan Rizwan, Richard E. Grant, and Peter Dinklage.
The setup: In a small medieval farming town with rigid social hierarchy and patriarchal culture, a reclusive fisherwoman is ostracized due to her persistent fish smell and rejection of institutionalized marriage. When the japes at her spinster status intensify, she sarcastically commissions for herself a husband made out of wicker. The master weaver brings the Wicker Husband to life, where his utility and dedication to his wife creates a romance so pure it causes absolute chaos amongst the villagers of the closed-minded town.
