Taron Egerton has a new leading role, and it arrived on the festival circuit first. His dark comedy thriller Everybody Wants to Fck Me* had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, TIFF lists.

Egerton plays Adam. He presents himself as a sensitive feminist. That self-image is where the story starts to unravel.

The film is written and directed by Jonathan Schey, and it is his debut feature, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The cast alongside Egerton includes Jessica Henwick as Sofia and Charly Clive as Emma. Herbert Nordrum and Mia McKenna-Bruce also appear.

TIFF lists the film as a United Kingdom-France production in English, with a runtime of 97 minutes. It was shown in Special Presentations, the festival’s showcase section for high-profile titles and anticipated work from established and emerging film-makers. Production credits include Studiocanal, Film4, Parkville Pictures and LuckyChap.

Studiocanal brought the film to Toronto as part of its 2026 festival slate. The company had earlier said the title was acquired across Europe, Asia and Latin America.

Coverage has followed quickly. The Hollywood Reporter published its review on 14 September 2026. IndieWire also published a review on 12 September 2026, describing the film as a cynical horror comedy. ScreenDaily published its own review on the same date, describing it as a UK sex comedy.

For fans, this means first details are coming from the festival rather than a trailer or release date. No wider theatrical date has been confirmed in the verified facts. For now, Toronto is the place where buyers, press and audiences see it first.
