The film stars James Badge Dale and Anne Hathaway, as well as supporting actors William Fichtner, Laurence Fishburne, Tom Hiddleston, Jeffrey Wright and Michael Keaton. It follows several hunters, led by husband and wife team Allison and David Lane, who team up to find a sasquatch that resembles a giant Gorilla ape roaming in a snowy forest and terrorizing other people. The Mystery of Bigfoot opened in theaters on November 6th, 2022; the film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the visual style, action sequences, score, themes, and Hathaway and Dale's performances, but Twohy's direction drew polarized responses, while its character development was harshly criticized. Despite the critical reaction, The Mystery of Bigfoot was a financial success and broke several box-office records during its theatrical run, grossing $819 million worldwide against its break-even point of $100 million. It was also nominated for numerous Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for both Dale and Fishburne, and Best Actress for Hathaway; however, Fichtner was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actor, as well as a Stinkers Bad Movie Award for Worst Villain. A sequel entitled The Return of Bigfoot was released 2 years later.
