Leonardo DiCaprio is one of Hollywood’s most prominent icons, emerging from a child star to a heartthrob, and evolving into a gifted and talented actor who still commands box-office success. Following global superstardom in James Cameron’s тιтanic, he reinvented himself as a versatile and interesting leading man, and so far, DiCaprio has made six feature films with legendary director Martin Scorsese. Awards success followed, with DiCaprio winning numerous accolades throughout his acting career, including three Golden Globes from seventeen nominations, and a BAFTA Award.

However, despite several prominent Oscar snubs for DiCaprio, he has enjoyed success at the Academy Awards, where he has enjoyed six acting nominations; Best Supporting Actor for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?, and Best Actor for Blood Diamond, The Aviator, The Wolf of Wall Street, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and The Revenant, finally winning for The Revenant in 2016. He also received a Best Picture nomination for his work as a producer on The Wolf of Wall Street. And now, DiCaprio could be set to enjoy future Oscar success with his upcoming Warner Bros. movie.

One Battle After Another Is Delayed By Warner Bros.

The Movie Could Have A Strong Awards Season Run

Warner Bros. has delayed DiCaprio’s next movie as part of a big shake-up to its schedule. The acclaimed Hollywood star last appeared on the big screen in Martin Scorsese’s epic revisionist Western crime drama Killers of the Flower Moon, and is now set to move away from Westerns, and from Scorsese, with his upcoming new project. But audiences hoping to catch DiCaprio on screen sooner rather than later will need to wait a while longer, as the movie has been pushed back from its original date.

Warner Bros. has confirmed that DiCaprio’s new movie directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, now officially тιтled One Battle After Another, will be moved from an August 8, 2025 release to September, 26, 2025, an auspicious change for the film’s awards season chances. Further date changes include a delay for Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!, pushing it out of 2025; shifts for The Cat in the Hat and Anne Hathaway-starring sci-fi movie Flowervale Street; and a big jump forward for Zach Cregger’s Weapons, which moves into One Battle After Another‘s vacated slot.

Per ᴅᴇᴀᴅline, the Warner Bros. schedule shake-up appears to have created something of a domino effect, which began with Weapons and saw multiple movies changing release dates, and One Battle After Another, The Bride!, and Weapons all filling slots originally meant for other movies. The report describes One Battle After Another as an action-comedy, as well as the priciest movie of Anderson’s career to date, but with a chance of a strong run during the fall awards season, it could be seen as a worthwhile move.

Our Verdict On Warner Bros. One Battle After Another Move

The Delay Could Have Happened To Avoid Blockbuster Compeтιтion

Of course, there could be any number of reasons behind the movie’s delay, but it seems likely that Warner Bros. made this schedule change for two key reasons. The first could be to avoid compeтιтion for the film from summer blockbusters that tend to release June through August and could impact the movie’s theatrical run. Another reason could be that moving One Battle After Another to late September allows the film to have a run during awards season, which could enhance its profile, and lead to potential Oscar success for DiCaprio.
