The most recent addition to this is his 2024 film,IF.Scheduled to release in May of next year, the film follows the story of a young girl who can see the imaginary friends of people who themselves might have left them behind.
While this concept on its own would gather a lot of attention, this isn’t the only reason why fans are losing their minds over this movie. The hype surrounding the film is also partly down to its stellar cast. The fantasy-comedy movie features a huge number of A-list actors, which is bound to contribute to the expectations.
