Emily Blunt podría protagonizar la nueva película de Steven Spielberg
Sound the Steven Spielberg movie news klaxon! Just last month we brought you the exciting news that in-demand Oppenheimer and The Fall Guy star Emily Blunt is in talks to lead the legendary American filmmaker’s mysterious new UFO movie, currently slated for release in May 2026. And now we’re getting word of another big British name who could be boarding the project. According to the latest issue of Production Weekly, Challengers’ Josh O’Connor may yet be the second hand in Spielberg’s very vaguely described ‘two-hander’, though it is important to note at this time that Universal have yet to confirm any major casting news on the hotly anticipated project.
Detalles sobre la nueva película de Spielberg
Precious little is known about what Spielberg is cooking up for his big return to blockbuster territory so far, but we have already learned that the filmmaker is reteaming with his Jurassic Park scribe David Koepp for this one, whilst fellow long-time collaborator Kristie Macosko Krieger (The Fabelmans, West Side Story) will produce. What’s more, during the most recent IMAX Investor Presentation earlier today, there was a conspicuously placed May 2026 Universal Pictures project entitled The Dish. Now, far be it from us to declaratively state Spielberg’s new film is 100% that film, but The Dish isn’t not an apt-sounding title for a film that is potentially going to see the Close Encounters Of The Third Kind director back in flying saucer territory.
Emily Blunt y su regreso al género de ciencia ficción
For Blunt, who is currently working on Benny Safdie’s A24 MMA biopic The Smashing Machine with her Jungle Cruise co-star Dwayne Johnson, her first Spielberg collaboration will mark a return to sci-fi territory having previously starred in the likes of Edge Of Tomorrow and A Quiet Place. As for O’Connor, this would be a first genre jaunt for the La Chimera actor, who is himself currently hard at work on Rian Johnson’s Knives Out threequel Wake Up Dead Man. Whatever this film winds up being, whoever does indeed end up starring, and whether or not it is in fact called The Dish, we cannot wait to see what Steven Spielberg is getting ready to serve up on 15 May, 2026.
