Based on Becky Albertalli’s book Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, the blockbuster will see Simon – played by US actor Nick Robinson – come of age as he comes out.

“Sometimes I feel like I’m always on the outside.

“There’s this invisible line that I have to cross to really be a part of everything, and I just can’t ever cross it.”
After a meaningful pause, Simon tells her: “Me too.”
The premise of the film is summed up by the next line, in which Simon says through a voiceover: “I’m just like you – except I have one huge-ass secret.
“Nobody knows I’m gay.”

As the music soars, Simon asks: “No matter what, announcing who you are to the world is pretty terrifying.
“Because what if the world doesn’t like you?”
At the end of the trailer, fans can enjoy a funny scene which Simon introduces by saying: “P.S.: It doesn’t seem fair that only gay people have to come out.

“Why is straight the default?”
The audience is then treated to the sight of straight people coming out to their parents.
