On Tuesday, July 25, the Houston native posted a trailer for his upcoming film Circus Maximus. Travis Scott directed the film alongside some of his "favorite directors" as he recorded the album in locations around the world. The movie is set to premiere in theaters the night before his Utopia album drops. Scott debuted the trailer during his headlining set at Rolling Loud Miami 2023 on Saturday night.
