Matthew McConaughey never fails to charm us with his voice, which further accentuates his organic performances, giving them a niche of their own. Some of his praiseworthy performances include ‘The Lincoln Lawyer,’ ‘Bernie,’ ‘The Wolf of Wall Street,’ ‘Killer Joe,’ ‘Interstellar,’ ‘Frailty,’ ‘A Time To Kill,’ ‘Dallas Buyers Club,’ and ‘Magic Mike.’ His ability to go under the skin of each of his characters, accompanied by his long list of awards and nominations, including but not limited to the Academy, the Golden Globe, the Critics’ Choice, the AACTA International, and the Emmy, makes him one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood. So, if you are a McConaughey fan and want to know what the actor is improvising on next, we bring you his upcoming projects, all sorted out.
1. The Rivals of Amziah King (2025)
Directed by Andrew Patterson, ‘The Rivals of Amziah King’ is a crime thriller movie that has an atmospheric, character-based story set against the backdrop of remote Oklahoma. The script is written by Patterson himself, with McConaughey playing the Amziah King. Although the plot is under wraps, from the title, it seems that the movie will deal with the Amziah King and his relationship with his rivals and what makes him the ‘king’ and not someone else. The rest of the cast includes Kurt Russell, Rob Morgan, Tony Revolori, Cole Sprouse, Owen Teague, and Scott Shepherd. ‘The Rivals of Amziah King’ had its world premiere at the 2025 South by Southwest Film & TV Festival on March 10, 2025, but has yet to get a theatrical release date. It is expected to be released in 2025.
