Fresh off his performances in Elvis and Pinocchio, Tom Hanks has continued to be one of America’s favorite actors. But, it seems we will all have to wait a few extra weeks to see him on the big screen again. Hanks’ next film, A Man Called Otto, has had its release date pushed back, from early December to a wide release on January 13, 2023.
The film is based on the New York Times best-selling novel “A Man Called Ove” by Swedish author Fredrik Backman. The film will follow Hanks as the titular man called Otto, a grumpy old man who finds pleasure in judging and being mean to his neighbors. However, Otto’s tough exterior begins to break away as an unlikely friendship is stricken up with the “very pregnant” Marisol, a new neighbor who moves next door with her young family.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Hanks is joined in the film by Mariana Treviño, Rachel Keller, Cameron Britton, and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo. Treviño is a Mexican stage and screen actress who has appeared in a number of Mexican films and most recently starred in the Spanish-language Netflix series Once Upon a Time... But Not Anymore. Keller has starred in several critically acclaimed series like Fargo and Legion and recently co-starred in the HBO Max series Tokyo Vice.
A Man Called Otto will get a limited release in New York and Los Angeles on December 25 which will be followed by a wide release on January 13, 2023.
