I Dunno What The Heck Is Going On With Joe Keery’s Hair In His New Movie, But At Least It Has Liam Neeson Going For It

by

Joe Keery’s hair is getting a lot of attention! In the trailer for his new movie, Cold Storage, his hair is seriously voluminous – like he stepped out of a wind tunnel after a bleaching session, and it actually looks great. While his hair is stealing the show, it’s good to see Liam Neeson fully embracing the comedic side of this new thriller.

The first trailer for the new movie just appeared on Samuel Goldwyn Pictures’ YouTube channel, and it’s a far cry from Joe Keery’s usual cheerful image. Expect dark, intense scenes with hazmat suits, loud alarms, and something terrifying that was best left undisturbed. The movie, scheduled for release in 2026, centers on Keery playing a working-class technician—still sporting his signature hair—who gets caught up in a disaster when a dangerous fungus escapes and evolves. Liam Neeson also stars, bringing his signature intensity and ability to instantly create suspense. I’m really looking forward to this film!

Okay, let’s address Keery’s hair first, before we even get to the scary stuff! He’s totally rocking this ‘hazmat himbo’ look – seriously, picture surfer-blond hair constantly falling in his eyes, like he gave himself a choppy haircut after a long night shift. It’s a huge change from Steve’s perfectly styled hair in earlier seasons, but it works instantly. It tells you so much about where his character is now without needing any explanation. You just get it.

The movie centers around Keery, who plays Teacake, an employee at a self-storage facility built on top of an old military base. When a dangerous, government-contained fungus escapes, turning people into monstrous creatures, Teacake teams up with his coworker Naomi (Campbell) to survive. Liam Neeson joins the fight as a hardened expert in biological terrorism. The film blends the tension of a contained outbreak with a darkly comedic tone, reminiscent of other thrillers in the genre.

The film boasts a surprisingly experienced team behind the scenes, despite its late-night movie vibe. Jonny Campbell, who directed the 2020 BBC series Dracula, helms the project, adapting a novel by David Koepp – the writer known for Jurassic Park and Panic Room. Gavin Polone (Zombieland, Panic Room) also produces, alongside Koepp himself, which accounts for the trailer’s blend of intense suspense and clever humor.

Honestly, the supporting cast is incredible! You’ve got Sosie Bacon, who was fantastic in Smile, the legendary Vanessa Redgrave from Mission: Impossible, and Lesley Manville, so good in Phantom Thread. They all show up and add this really cool, sophisticated vibe to the movie, even when things get super messy and wild with the outbreak. It’s a surprisingly classy touch amidst all the glorious gross-out stuff.

The footage strikes a great balance between humor, the frantic energy of an outbreak, and classic monster-movie action, bringing to mind some of the best horror-comedies. It really feels like a modern take on Ghostbusters.

The movie is scheduled to hit theaters on February 13, 2026, and will be distributed by Studio Canal and Samuel Goldwyn Films. It’s being described as a sci-fi horror-comedy. The trailer suggests a wild, fun movie – the kind you watch late at night – and features a particularly memorable hairstyle from Joe Keery. While the details of his look are puzzling, the trailer makes it clear this film is exciting, and I’m eager to see it on the big screen.
