Chris Evans and Aubrey Plaza's "Honey Don’t!" Lands Release Date

Focus Features has dated the dark comedy feature "Honey Don’t!" for a wide theatrical release on August 22.

Chris Evans, Aubrey Plaza, Charlie Day, Billy Eichner and Margaret Qualley round out the cast for director Ethan Coen‘s movie.

"Honey Don’t!", which is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, centers on Honey O’Donahue (Qualley), a small-town private investigator looking into deaths related to a mysterious church.

Coen helmed the movie from a script he co-wrote with his wife Tricia Cooke. The pair also co-wrote Coen’s 2024 crime comedy "Drive-Away Dolls" which starred Pedro Pascal, Qualley, and Geraldine Viswanathan.

Producers for "Honey Don’t!" include Coen, Cooke, Robert Graf, Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner.

Also set for release on August 22 is Lionsgate’s "Americana" starring Sydney Sweeney and Paul Walter Hauser, along with Vertical’s Ron Howard-directed Eden.

Evans starred opposite Dwayne Johnson in last year’s Amazon holiday movie "Red One" and will appear in A24’s summer release "Materialists" alongside Pascal and Dakota Johnson.

Plaza appeared in the 2024 movie "Megalopolis", and she has a voice role in this fall’s animated movie "Animal Friends".

Qualley’s recent credits include last year’s "The Substance", which earned her a Golden Globe Award nomination for best supporting actress. She also has a role in the Netflix summer comedy "Happy Gilmore 2".

Coen is known for his work with filmmaker brother Joel Coen, with the pair winning Oscars for their work on "Fargo" and "No Country for Old Men."
