EXCLUSIVE: Leonardo DiCaprio Reveals WHY He Felt Sorry For Sean Penn Over One Battle After Another Role, ‘More Complex’

What’s the quickest way to get former revolutionaries to work together? A shared enemy and a threat to someone they care about. The new Warner Bros. film, *One Battle After Another*, uses this idea, mixing it with plenty of action, strong feelings, and lingering resentment. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti.

Oh my gosh, you HAVE to hear about ‘One Battle After Another’! It’s completely gripping. The whole thing kicks off when Willa Ferguson, Bob’s daughter – Chase Infiniti plays her, and she’s AMAZING – just vanishes. It’s her disappearance that really sets everything in motion! Suddenly, Bob (Leonardo DiCaprio, obviously, and he’s incredible!) has to pull together his old team, these former revolutionaries, to deal with this seriously scary guy, Col. Steven J. Lockjaw – Sean Penn is just *perfect* as the villain! – who’s been lurking around for sixteen years and is now causing all sorts of trouble. It’s all about their fight to find Willa and take down Lockjaw, and honestly, I’m obsessed!

Leonardo DiCaprio praised Sean Penn, who plays his character’s enemy in the film. In an interview with TopMob, DiCaprio described Penn’s villain, Lockjaw, as dangerous and ruthless. However, DiCaprio also noted that Penn brought a surprising level of vulnerability and humanity to the role, portraying a deep sense of isolation and insecurity beneath the menacing exterior.

Leonardo DiCaprio describes the character as surprisingly complex, saying, “He’s far more than just a typical villain. There’s a lot of depth to the performance, and honestly, I sometimes felt sympathy for him.”

I’m so excited! “One Battle After Another” is finally hitting theaters in India on September 26, 2025. I’ve been following the buzz, and it’s already getting amazing reviews from early screenings and seems destined to be a huge hit – I can’t wait to see it!
