Mads Mikkelsen faces monsters in the stunning trailer for 'Dust Bunny'

Mads Mikkelsen once again demonstrates his magnetism with Dust Bunny, a dark fantasy action thriller that has already caused a stir online following the release of its first trailer.

The film is directed by Bryan Fuller and stars Sigourney Weaver. It promises to become one of the season's strongest contenders, with a confirmed release date of December 5, 2025.

A lethal neighbor and a supernatural mystery

In Dust Bunny, Mikkelsen plays an enigmatic neighbor with an unexpected skill: killing real-life monsters. This premise blends fast-paced action with elements of dark fantasy and a twisted fairy tale tone.

The plot follows Aurora, a 10-year-old girl who believes her family was devoured by a monstrous creature. Desperate, she turns to the neighbor, who suspects that real killers who were after him might be behind the crime.

A star-studded cast and Bryan Fuller's signature

The film features a top-tier cast: Sigourney Weaver, a fantasy film icon thanks to Alien; David Dastmalchian, a specialist in unsettling thrillers; and Rebecca Henderson.

The direction is in the hands of Bryan Fuller, creator of Hannibal, the series in which Mikkelsen excelled as Hannibal Lecter. His visual and narrative style is already one of the project's main draws.

A trailer that sent social media into a frenzy

The official preview shows tension-filled scenes, with Mikkelsen facing hordes of killers while protecting Aurora. The dynamic between childlike innocence and raw violence promises to be one of the story's strongest points.

According to Variety, Dust Bunny explores the thin line between reality and imagination. The question of whether monsters exist or are metaphors for human horror adds a psychological component that enhances its appeal.
