As the cinematic skies rumble with the promise of Vanessa Kirby’s superheroic return only in a couple of days, another screen spectacle featuring her quietly prepares to steal the spotlight. While capes and cosmic forces gather momentum in Fantastic Four, a different kind of storm is brewing with the actress at heart — this one stitched in suspense. For those craving a detour from multiplexes amid the charged summer movie slate, a certain streaming giant is rolling out its own carpet with Kirby leading the charge.

This summer, as one universe expands, another quietly coils with tension, ready to strike sooner rather than later.

Vanessa Kirby is all set to land a one-two punch this summer with two of her highly anticipated projects set to release in immediate succession. While her superhero outing Fantastic Four, co-starring Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner, and more, comes out on July 25, she has a Netflix venture arriving in August. Titled Night Always Comes, Kirby’s next digital outing has secured an August 15 release.

The trailer dropped only a few minutes ago and shows her racing against time to snag thousands of dollars before it is too late. The film, for the record, is an adaptation of Willy Vlautin’s 2021 novel of the same name. Sharing her experience of working on the production, Vanessa Kirby told PEOPLE Magazine recently, “It was so meaningful to play someone who is absolutely on the edge.” The actress further divulged that her character is someone whom the system has failed, which makes her aggressively unpredictable, and portraying such roles is often exciting to her as an actor. Benjamin Caron, an award-circuit favorite, meanwhile, directs the project.

With an Emmy, BAFTA, and Golden Globe-winning visionary behind the lens, Kirby’s Night Always Comes turns from gripping to unmissable

Benjamin Caron, for those unaware, is the name behind highly acclaimed productions like The Crown, Andor, and more. With the filmmaker being no stranger to balancing grandeur with emotional narratives, Night Always Comes appears to follow that signature streak, making it a very worthy addition to Netflix’s overflowing vault of thrillers. The trailer rightly hints at a relentless pace, raising curiosity around how far a person can go when their limit is pushed.

With a universally resonant theme of economic struggle taking center stage in the film, Benjamin Caron’s direction is only expected to overwhelm the odds in the most delicious way, making it one of this summer's must-watch. And as Vanessa Kirby prepares to bend reality in one of her forthcoming offerings and fights for survival in another, she is not just doubling down — she is delivering a striking contrast, one that speaks of her range as a showbiz mainstay.
