Easter Island, 1973. The Chilean coup is days away. Two CIA agents are already there. ‘Wild Horse Nine,’ the new film from writer-director Martin McDonagh, arrives in theaters November 6, 2026, from Searchlight Pictures, and the official trailer is out now.
Malkovich plays Chris, partnered with Sam Rockwell’s Lee, both dispatched to the remote island by bureau chief MJ, played by Steve Buscemi. Among Easter Island’s iconic statues, old loyalties are tested, dark histories surface, and Chris’s connection with two rebellious local students, played by Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas, threatens to unravel the entire operation. Tom Waits and Parker Posey round out the cast. McDonagh wrote and directed, producing alongside Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin, and Anita Overland.
