Vertical has released the trailer for Hamlet, a new take on the iconic Shakespeare play starring Riz Ahmed. Hamlet is set to release in theaters on April 10, 2026.
“Shakespeare’s most enduring tragedy is reimagined in a bold, modern adaptation set within London’s elite South Asian community. When Hamlet (Riz Ahmed) returns for his father’s funeral, he is stunned to discover his uncle Claudius is marrying his newly widowed mother,” reads the film’s official synopsis. “Visited by his father’s ghost, Hamlet learns his brutal murder was at the hands of Claudius – and spirals into a quest for vengeance that exposes the rot at the heart of the family’s empire and threatens his own sanity.”
