Natalie Portman recently shared exciting details about working with John Krasinski in the new Apple TV+ film Fountain of Youth. The movie, directed by Guy Ritchie, follows two siblings on a global treasure hunt for the legendary Fountain of Youth. Portman plays Charlotte Purdue, the sister of Krasinski’s character Luke Purdue.
During the movie’s premiere at the American Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles, Portman talked about her experience. She said working with Krasinski was a great time. “It was so incredible to get to work with John. He’s so funny. He’s so kind, such a good actor, and to play brother and sister was really fun,” she shared.
Portman, who is an only child, mentioned that she always imagined what having siblings would be like. Krasinski, who has two brothers, also brought his own experiences to the role. “Both of us, I think, had an imagination of what it might be like,” she said. This made their on-screen sibling relationship feel more real.
The film is a mix of adventure and mystery. It follows Luke Purdue, a treasure hunter, who teams up with his estranged sister Charlotte for a dangerous mission. They are hired by a billionaire named Owen Carver, played by Domhnall Gleeson. However, Carver might have his own hidden plans.
Krasinski also talked about the movie, saying he loved the differences between his character and Portman’s. Director Guy Ritchie added that the brother-sister dynamic includes a lot of playful arguing. “There will always be squabbling between brothers and sisters, and he considers that kind of banter to be the best form of arguing,” the production notes revealed.
The movie was filmed in different locations around the world, including the pyramids and Vienna. Portman said traveling with the cast and crew was a special experience. “It was a great experience to travel to incredible places with the entire team,” she shared. The group became very close during filming.
Fountain of Youth also stars Eiza González, Stanley Tucci, Laz Alonso, and Arian Moayed. The film is set to release on Apple TV+ on May 23, 2025. Fans of adventure movies like Indiana Jones and Uncharted might enjoy this new film.
Portman’s comments about Krasinski have made fans even more excited for the movie. Many are looking forward to seeing their chemistry on screen. The behind-the-scenes stories add to the excitement around the film’s release.
The trailer for Fountain of Youth has already gotten positive reactions. Critics have compared it to classic adventure films. The mix of action, humor, and sibling dynamics makes it a must-watch for 2025.
