On Tuesday, Netflix unveiled the first teaser for Spaceman, in which Adam Sandler plays Czech astronaut Jakub Procházka, who discovers a talking giant alien spider called Hanuš that may or may not be imaginary.
‘Just like you, I fled my planet,’ Hanuš – voiced by Paul Dano – tells Jakub in a forest during the 20-second preview.
‘Through galaxies, through black holes, through time. And then I found… you.’
The mysterious ancient creature becomes Procházka’s unlikely companion in the sci-fi film, and the two ‘form an intense and emotional bond’ over philosophical conversations.
The 57-year-old comedian’s orphaned character regrets leaving his devoted wife Lenka (Carey Mulligan) behind to embark on the dangerous solo mission to Venus, and he clashes with secret Russian rivals.

Adam wrapped Johan Renck’s $40M-budget adventure drama way back in July 2021 but, due to the impact of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, it won’t premiere until March 1 on the streaming giant.
The R-rated film – based on Jaroslav Kalfař’s 2017 novel Spaceman of Bohemia – is produced by Channing Tatum and also stars Isabella Rossellini, Kunal Nayyar, Sinead Phelps, John Flanders, and Petr Papánek as the younger Jakub.
Sandler previously cut his dramatic teeth in films like Josh and Benny Safdie’s 2019 crime thriller Uncut Gems and Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2002 absurdist rom-com Punch Drunk Love.
Spaceman does not appear to be apart of the Mark Twain Prize winner’s lucrative $250M deal with Netflix as he already produced and starred in 10 films for them between 2015-2023, which amassed well over 2B views.
Adam’s last release – the animated film Leo – scored the biggest debut for a Netflix animated film with 34.6M views when it premiered November 21.
‘Love working with Netflix and collaborating with them,’ Sandler said in a statement in 2017.
‘I love how passionate they are about making movies and getting them out there for the whole world to see. They’ve made me feel like family and I can’t thank them enough for their support.’
The Independent Spirit Award winner founded his production company Happy Madison Productions way back in 1999.
