Guy Ritchie wants to do what Ponce de León couldn’t. He wants to find the famed Fountain of Youth. Only, unlike de León, he’s not going to trudge through Florida’s swamps to find it. The director is sending John Krasinski and Natalie Portman on a hunt across the globe in his new film named after the mythic spring. And Apple TV+’s first trailer for Fountain of Youth reveals that this search will be full of all the action and comedy we’d expect from a Guy Ritchie film. It will also feature a whole lot of heart.
Guy Ritchie has put together one hell of a cast for Fountain of Youth. The action-comedy also seems to be clearly inspired by the Indiana Jones franchise. But with a dash of National Treasure and a sprinkle of Dan Brown’s Robert Langdon novels thrown in. Here’s the official synopsis for Fountain of Youth to go along with its trailer:
Fountain of Youth follows two estranged siblings who partner on a global heist to find the mythological Fountain of Youth. They must use their knowledge of history to follow clues on an epic adventure that will change their lives … and possibly lead to immortality.
The movie also features Eiza González (who also starred in Ritchie’s last film, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare), Domhnall Gleeson (Star Wars sequel trilogy), Arian Moayed (Succession), Laz Alonso (The Boys), Carmen Ejogo (The Penguin), and Stanley Tucci (The Devil Wears Prada). The script comes from James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, The Amazing Spider-Man movies, Scream 2022 and Scream VI).
What will happen when a bunch of attractive people who hardly seem to age already find the famed Fountain? Why have so many worked so hard to prevent them from doing just that? We’ll find out when Guy Ritchie sends us across the globe with Fountain of Youth at Apple TV+ on May 23, 2025.
