Fox Searchlight have announced the street date for Marc Webb‘s Gifted, the (500) Days Of Summer and The Amazing Spider-Man director’s drama which is led by Chris Evans. The film will reach U.S. soil on April 12, 2017, just a couple of days ahead of the next film in the Fast and Furious series, Fast 8.

Here’s the plot.

Frank Adler (Chris Evans) is a single man raising a child prodigy – his spirited young niece Mary (Mckenna Grace) – in a coastal town in Florida. Frank’s plans for a normal school life for Mary are foiled when the seven-year-old’s mathematical abilities come to the attention of Frank’s formidable mother Evelyn (Lindsay Duncan) whose plans for her granddaughter threaten to separate Frank and Mary. Octavia Spencer plays Roberta, Frank and Mary’s landlady and best friend. Jenny Slate is Mary’s teacher, Bonnie, a young woman whose concern for her student develops into a connection with her uncle as well.

The studio have also provided us with our first full look at Evans in the film, which you can check out below.
