Leonardo DiCaprio stars as an explorer left for dead by his companions after a bear attack. The screenplay, co-written by Iñárritu and Mark L. Smith and based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Michael Punke, tells the story of the revenge he subsequently seeks. The trailer comes complete with those drum beats we came to love in _Birdman_. _The Revenant_ will hit theaters on Christmas Day 2015, in time for Iñárritu, DiCaprio and co-star Tom Hardy to try to land their names on Oscar ballots. _Read next:_ [_Watch Tom Hardy Throw a Good Punch in_ ](http://time.com/3936321/tom-hardy-legend-trailer/?iid=time%5Freadnext "undefined")[Legend _Trailer_](http://time.com/3936321/tom-hardy-legend-trailer/?iid=time%5Freadnext "undefined") [_Listen to the most important stories of the day_](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/autoplay/?xid=spl-fullbrief-article "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3962551/the-revenant-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3962551/the-revenant-trailer/"},"headline":"See Leonardo DiCaprio Go Wild in the Trailer for The Revenant","datePublished":"2015-07-17T14:39:39.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T09:21:19.260Z","description":"Winter, and Oscar season, are coming","url":"https://time.com/3962551/the-revenant-trailer/","keywords":["movies","Leonardo DiCaprio"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt70a36a252cdc846b/69885b7f196cf4763a03729f/revenant.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt70a36a252cdc846b/69885b7f196cf4763a03729f/revenant.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"revenant","caption":"revenant","creditText":"Trailer","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3962551/the-revenant-trailer/","name":"See Leonardo DiCaprio Go Wild in the Trailer for The Revenant"}}]}] ```
