Steve Carell in Mountainhead.

Succession creator Jesse Armstrong is back with Mountainhead, a new movie with characters who are just as wealthy, powerful, and insecure as the Roy family. Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Ramy Youssef and Cory Michael Smith star as four tech moguls gathering for a low-key guys’ weekend of poker. But business and unchecked, overinflated egos quickly lead them all down a very dark path.
