Another star may be close to joining Steven Spielberg‘s next movie, as Deadline is reporting that Colin Firth is in talks to join his untitled and mysterious event movie.
Deadline notes that Firth is in “early talks” to join the project, and should he accept a role, he’ll star opposite Emily Blunt, who has already been tapped to lead the picture. As was the case with Blunt’s casting, no real information about Firth’s proposed role is known, as mostly nothing is known about the project altogether.
What do we know about Steven Spielberg’s next movie?
Spielberg’s next film will be backed by Universal Pictures and is set to open on May 15, 2026. As of yet, it’s unclear what the project will be called or even about, although previous reports did note that Spielberg was working on an original UFO story.
Spielberg will be working with David Koepp on the film, with Koepp writing the script for the project. The pair are no strangers to each other, with Koepp having written 1993’s Jurassic Park, 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park, 2005’s War of the Worlds, and 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull for Spielberg.
Spielberg’s last feature film was 2022’s The Fabelmans, a project that was written and directed by Spielberg and told a fictionalized version of his adolescence and first years as a filmmaker.
