Almost a year after they conquered the Oscars with 2022’s “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” filmmaking duo The Daniels— Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert— are gearing up to make their next film, and this one is set up at Universal. Unfortunately, no details have been made other than that it’s an “Untitled Event Film,” likely meaning some blockbuster-sized venture or franchise or considerable scope, and it’s been set for June 12, 2026.

Thanks to their ambitious, surreal, and quirky multiverse film “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” filmmaking pair, The Daniels are having a moment. Their A24 genre-bending comedy ended up becoming the biggest box office success for the studio, and there’s enough Oscar buzz that it’s likely landing a Best Picture nod this year. The inventive film starring Michelle Yeoh helped spotlight the gonzo filmmaking talents, and while their feature film efforts are always conceptually outlandish, one project that got away sounds just as bonkers.

A24 may have found the filmmakers to jump-start the art-house box office and, in something of a surprise, it’s the visionary directing duo of Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheiert, aka The Daniels. This past weekend, their second cinematic opus, “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” opened in limited release to an impressive $509,659 or $50,965 in just 10 theaters. One of the best per-screen averages in A24 history.

In The Daniels’ visionary sophomore feature, “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” Michelle Yeoh plays Evelyn Wang, a woman of a certain age struggling with keeping her laundromat business afloat. But Evelyn is also a pop superstar, a movie star, a hibachi chef, a Kung Fu master, and much more. See, thanks to a threat to the entire multiverse, Evelyn finds herself accessing hundreds, even thousands of different versions of herself.

“Everything Everywhere All At Once” carries a surprising sci-fi staidness for the loony directors behind “Swiss Army Man,” until a character, after ingesting a chock full of pink chapstick, magically becomes a martial arts master, decimating the security guards patrolling a drab IRS office in the process. In Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s bold and boundless, nihilist multiverse spectacle, the co-directors known as the Daniels gleefully reference “The Matrix,” “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon,” “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and the works of Wong Kar-wai to give the legendary Michelle Yeoh her most demanding, and possibly most fulfilling role, yet.

Joe and Anthony Russo are two of the most sought-after directors in Hollywood. And after the record-breaking weekend their latest film, “Avengers: Infinity War,” had, the filmmaking duo has a golden ticket to do just about anything they want. Apparently, what they want to do next is develop their own studio.

According to an interview on the Empire Podcast, the brothers talked about filming ‘Infinity War,’ and where they see themselves going next, when their final Marvel film, the as-yet-untitled ‘Avengers 4,’ hits theaters next year.

A buddy movie about a man and a corpse that farts became the unlikely talk of last year’s Sundance Film Festival, and with backing from A24, achieved nearly instant cult status. It immediately put the filmmakers Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan (aka The Daniels) on the map, and they’re gearing up their next project with a major boost behind them.

Anthony and Joe Russo will be producing the new film by The Daniels, which is currently untitled, and about which no plot details are being released.

While “Swiss Army Man” left the Sundance Film Festival, where it premiered earlier this year, known as “that farting corpse movie,” that’s not quite accurate. The film is about the universal human experience of defecation, and examines the cultural norms that cow people into hiding pieces of their identity out of shame. That’s still not an easy sell, but if you skipped the film based on its premise, you missed out.
