MEDUSA (2026) – FIRST TRAILER | Starring: Charlize Theron • Keanu Reeves

In Greek mythology, Medusa has always been known as a monster — a cursed creature with snake hair, a gaze of stone, and unquenchable hatred. But Medusa (2026) takes the story beyond all familiar stereotypes. The film is not just about a monster, but about a betrayed soul, a heart crushed by injustice, and a journey to find the humanity lost in her own darkness.Charlize Theron — fierce, cold, but hiding deep pain — transforms into a version of Medusa never before seen: strong, tragic, full of tragedy. Not born a monster, Medusa in the film is portrayed as a woman who once had a life, love, small dreams… before being crushed by the world of power, lust, and betrayal. Hunted, cursed, and isolated, she becomes a symbol of danger—but also a symbol of unspeakable pain.

As humanity begins to face mysterious deaths, warriors turned to stone in an instant, and the awakening of creatures that ancient civilizations feared, a legendary hunter emerges: Dorian—played by Keanu Reeves.Dorian is neither a mindless warrior nor a perfect hero. He has lost too much in his battles against supernatural forces: his comrades, his faith, and his peace of mind. He is given one final mission—to hunt Medusa and end the curse that threatens to destroy humanity. But when he confronts her, Dorian discovers a truth more dangerous than death: monsters are not always the enemy, and humans are not always the victims.

The trailer opens in the cold space of an ancient temple shrouded in darkness. The wind whistles through the shattered statues, the flickering firelight illuminates the vivid snakes coiled in Medusa’s hair. Her face is both hauntingly beautiful and cold like a wound that has never healed. A character who is both a victim and a threat, and proof that evil is sometimes born from wounds so deep that there is no other way but revenge.

The film leads viewers through eye-catching battle scenes:

• Close-quarter battles between Dorian and ancient creatures reborn from dark rituals.

• Chase scenes through underground stone libraries, where the secrets of the old world have been locked away for thousands of years.

• Fights between petrified gazes and tactical combat skills, creating an atmosphere that is both breathtaking and surreal.

But hidden behind the grandeur is the story of two lost souls. Medusa struggles between monster instinct and human memory. Dorian struggles between duty and truth. When they are forced to work together to confront the true enemy—the ancient organization that created Medusa’s curse—the lines between hunter and prey, between justice and evil, between humanity and monster begin to collapse.
