Specialty event cinema distributor Fathom Entertainment, along with Saga Arts and Warner Bros., today confirmed that the 2006 film V for Vendetta will be heading back to the big screen in 2026, just in time for its 20th anniversary. The film will hit theatres across the US on November 1 and 5, 2026.

“From its early days as a graphic novel and then a feature film, few properties have struck a chord with fans and been more thought-provoking societally than V for Vendetta,” said Fathom Entertainment vice president of studio relations, Tom Lucas, in a statement pubished alongside the announcement. “20 years later, the movie still resonates, and Fathom is so pleased to bring it back to theatres next November with our partners at Warner Bros. and Saga Arts.”

Based on the late ’80s graphic novel of the same name by writer Alan Moore and illustrators David Lloyd and Tony Weare, V for Vendetta is the story of a charismatic anarchist named V, who is seeking to trigger a revolution against the totalitarian government ruling a dystopian, near-future Great Britain. The film stars Hugo Weaving as V, as well as Natalie Portman as Evey – a young woman who becomes embroiled in his mission. Produced by Joel Silver and The Wachowskis, from a screenplay written by The Wachowskis, V for Vendetta was helmed by first-time director James McTeigue and was a box office success that received largely favourable reviews.
