Another talent might be poised to join Steven Spielberg’s upcoming film, with Deadline reporting that Colin Firth is in discussions to become part of the unannounced and enigmatic project.
According to Deadline, Firth is in the “early stages” of negotiations for the film, and if he accepts the role, he will appear alongside Emily Blunt, who is already confirmed as the lead. Similar to Blunt’s casting, details about Firth’s potential role remain undisclosed, as there is little concrete information available about the project as a whole.
What do we know about Spielberg’s next film? Spielberg’s upcoming movie will be produced by Universal Pictures and is scheduled for release on May 15, 2026. The title and specifics of the film are still unknown, but earlier reports have suggested that Spielberg might be working on an original story involving UFOs.
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.
