Jackman and Dern are currently at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival promoting their film \"The Son\" from director Florian Zeller.

The duo play a divorced couple in the upcoming film, which is described as \"a drama that follows a family as it struggles to reunite after falling apart.\"

According to the film's official synopsis, \"The Son\" tells the story of a man named Peter, \"whose hectic life with his infant and new partner Beth is upended when his ex-wife Kate appears with their son Nicholas, who is now a teenager.\"

\"The young man has been missing from school for months and is troubled, distant, and angry,\" the synopsis reads. \"Peter strives to take care of Nicholas as he would have liked his own father to have taken care of him while juggling work, his and Beth's new son, and the offer of his dream position in Washington. However, by reaching for the past to correct its mistakes, he loses sight of how to hold onto Nicholas in the present.\"

The film opens in New York and Los Angeles on Nov. 11.
