Oscar winner Colin Firth is in talks to join the cast of legendary director Steven Spielberg’s next film project. The British actor, known for his performances in films such as “Pride and Prejudice,” the “Bridget Jones” series, “The King’s Speech” and “A Single Man,” will appear alongside Emily Blunt in the film.
Hollywood studio Universal and Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment will release the film worldwide on May 15, 2026, according to entertainment news outlet Deadline. Although plot details have been kept under wraps, the untitled film has been billed as an “original event film.”
The film will be produced by Kristie Macosko Krieger. Based on a story by Spielberg, the script is written by David Koepp, a frequent collaborator of the director on “Jurassic Park” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”
Spielberg last directed the semi-autobiographical film “The Fabelmans,” which was released in 2022. Firth recently appeared in the HBO miniseries “The Staircase.” His upcoming projects include the series “Lockerbie” for the American streaming service Peacock, as well as the Guy Ritchie series “Young Sherlock” on Prime Video.
