Chris Evans is trading in rom-com charm for something a little darker—and a lot more chaotic. Honey Don’t, his upcoming dark comedy with Margaret Qualley and Aubrey Plaza, leans hard into the unhinged energy that made Knives Out fans fall for Ransom Drysdale. Think sun-drenched murder mystery meets pastel-drenched satire, with a splash of Palm Royale flair for good measure. Here’s everything you need to know.
Honey Don’t Trailer
Honey Don’t! centers on a small-town investigator named Honey, who finds herself unraveling a string of mysterious deaths—all linked to a bizarre local church. The film promises to be wild, offbeat, and totally unforgettable. Watch the trailer below.
