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-Jones. 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.
