HANOI — Vietnamese cinema is gearing up for an exciting cinematic event this spring as the official poster for the highly anticipated film "Anh Hùng" (with the intriguing subtitle "Lật mặt anh hùng từ thiện tiền tỷ") has finally been unveiled.
Directed by Võ Thạch Thảo, the film promises to deliver a perfect blend of high-stakes comedy, family drama, and sharp social commentary. It is scheduled to hit theaters nationwide on April 24, 2026, strategically timed around the major national holidays of Hung Kings' Commemoration Day and April 30th.
A Star-Studded Cast
The promotional poster showcases an impressive ensemble of Vietnam’s most beloved and talented actors across generations:
-
Thái Hòa & NSƯT Lê Thiện: Taking center stage, Thái Hòa (famed for his stellar comedic and dramatic range) is seen scaling a wall while carrying the legendary veteran actress, Meritorious Artist Lê Thiện, on his back in a chaotic yet heartwarming escape.
-
A Powerhouse Supporting Cast: The top of the bill features renowned names including Hồng Ánh, Võ Tấn Phát, Đoàn Thế Vinh, Hoàng Minh Triết, Phương Thanh, and Gia Tuệ.
Chaos, Comedy, and Social Satire
The poster’s vibrant and chaotic composition hints at a wild, laughter-filled ride. While the central duo desperately climbs a wall amidst falling sparks, a crowd of onlookers below watches in a mix of panic and curiosity.
Intriguingly, several characters—including a man dressed in formal wear—are seen holding up smartphones to record the spectacle, pointing to a modern satire on social media culture, public attention, and the theme of "internet charity heroes" hinted at in the subtitle. Below them, other characters scramble with a floral mattress, prepared to catch the falling duo.
The Perfect Holiday Release
By locking in the prime release date of April 24, 2026, the creators of "Anh Hùng" are positioning the movie to be the definitive crowd-pleaser of the holiday season. With Võ Thạch Thảo's proven directorial hand and a cast led by the "box office king" Thái Hòa, the film is poised to capture the hearts of Vietnamese families looking for both big laughs and meaningful messages on the silver screen.
