Overview

• On Oct. 1 at the 21st Zurich Film Festival, Skarsgård wore a Magliano silk shirt printed with dildos, butt plugs, lubricant and a cracked cellphone during a Pillion photocall.
• The outfit continues a kink-referencing press-tour strategy with stylist Harry Lambert, following fetish-leaning looks at Cannes such as thigh-high leather boots.
• Speaking to Variety, Skarsgård said his personal history, including past partners of “men, women,” is not relevant to the role, emphasizing a truthful depiction over labels.
• He and director Harry Lighton said more explicit material was filmed than will appear, aiming for sex scenes that feel awkward and humorous rather than gratuitous.
• The first trailer arrived Oct. 1 as social-media attention surged, and A24 holds U.S. rights with no domestic release date announced.
