NEON Unveils First Teaser Trailer for Cannes Prize Winning THE SECRET AGENT

NEON has released the first teaser trailer for their upcoming drama thriller THE SECRET AGENT, which will launch in US theaters on November 26th, 2025. The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, winning the Best Actor award for Wagner Moura, and Best Director for Kleber Mendonça Filho.

The Secret Agent is written and directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, and stars Wagner Moura, Maria Fernanda Candido, Gabriel Leone, Carlos Francisco, Alice Carvalho, Roberio Diogenes, Hermila Guedes, Igor De Araujo, Italo Martins, Laura Lufesi, Udo Kier, Roney Villela, and Isabél Zuaa.

In the film, amid the raucous revelry of Carnival week, a widower named Marcelo (Wagner Moura) arrives in 1977 in Recife, Brazil, a city as vibrant as it is violent. A technology researcher who suddenly finds himself an unwitting target in the heart of the dictatorship's political maelstrom, Marcelo is a man on the run from mercenary killers, from ghosts of the past and from the ruthless, mischievously militant spirit of Brazil in 1977.

In the midst of these mounting threats, Marcelo, with the help of a mysterious woman named Elza and her compatriots in the country's growing underground resistance, remains primarily focused on escaping Brazil with his young son.
