The Gifted Trailer and Poster, Starring Chris Evans

Fox Searchlight Pictures today has released the official trailer and poster for the drama Gifted, directed by Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer, The Amazing Spider-Man) and starring Chris Evans (Captain America: Civil War, Snowpiercer). The film will arrive in theaters on April 12, 2017. Check out the Gifted trailer below, along with the poster in the gallery!

In Gifted, Frank Adler (Chris Evans) is a single man raising a child prodigy – his spirited young niece Mary (Mckenna Grace) – in a coastal town in Florida. Frank’s plans for a normal school life for Mary are foiled when the seven-year-old’s mathematical abilities come to the attention of Frank’s formidable mother Evelyn (Lindsay Duncan) whose plans for her granddaughter threaten to separate Frank and Mary. Octavia Spencer plays Roberta, Frank and Mary’s landlady and best friend. Jenny Slate is Mary’s teacher, Bonnie, a young woman whose concern for her student develops into a connection with her uncle as well.

“Chris Evans, Lindsay Duncan, Jenny Slate, Octavia Spencer and Mckenna Grace are a wonderful rich ensemble that is both hilarious and sincere,” Webb said when production began. “Tom Flynn’s sensitive and thoughtful script strikes the heart in a way that felt very personal. Plus it is great to be back with Searchlight again.”

Gifted also stars Jenny Slate (Obvious Child, “Parks and Recreation”) and Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer (The Help, The Divergent Series: Insurgent). The film features an original screenplay by Tom Flynn with Karen Lunder and Andy Cohen attached to produce.
