Oscar winner Taika Waititi’s Next Goal Wins poster out now, and it has a profound lesson to impart

Guess who’s back with a bang? Of course, it is Taika Waititi.

Recently, the Oscar-Grammy winning filmmaker took Instagram by storm as he announced his upcoming feature film.

Waititi has unveiled a tantalizing poster for Next Goal Wins which has left the fans buzzing with excitement.

Waititi promises the film to be a departure from his usual style, as he ventures into unfamiliar territory with a sports-themed movie based on a true story. In his Instagram post, the acclaimed director said, "sports film I made about a sport I know nothing about" But that's not all. Waititi also claims that "Next Goal Wins" is his "least cynical film in which nothing bad happens to anyone", promising a refreshing departure from the dark themes and biting social commentary that has become his trademark.

Based on the 2014 documentary of the same name by Mike Brett and Steve Jamison, Next Goal Wins is an American sports comedy-drama film directed by Taika Waititi. The plot follows Dutch-American coach Thomas Rongen's efforts to lead the American Samoa national football team, considered the weakest football team in the world (known for their brutal 2001 FIFA match they lost 31-0), to qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The film features performances from Michael Fassbender, Oscar Kightley, David Fane, Beulah Koale, Lehi Falepapalangi, Semu Filipo, Uli Latukefu, Rachel House, Kaimana, Will Arnett, and Elisabeth Moss.
