Brent Lang Executive Editor Colin Firth is in early talks to join Emily Blunt in Steven Spielberg‘s next film. It’s unclear who the Oscar-winning actor will play or what the movie is even about, though it has been described as an “event film,” and the fact that is has been slated to open in the summer of 2026 suggests it will be a return to the kind of blockbusters that made Spielberg a household name.
Otherwise, mums the word on what on screen action awaits. Spielberg cooked up the story and David Koepp, who wrote “Jurassic Park” and the first “Mission: Impossible,” penned the script.
Universal will release the film, which is produced by Spielberg’s company, Amblin. Firth is set to appear in “Lockerbie,” a Peacock series aboutthe bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, as well as “Young Sherlock,” a Prime Video series about the famous detective’s early years from Guy Ritchie.
Firth won an Oscar for his performance as King George VI in “The King’s Speech” and was nominated for another for his work as a grieving professor in “A Single Man.” He also starred in “Kingsman: The Secret Service” as a suave agent who kicks ass in Savile Row suits, and in the “Bridget Jones”franchise as a haughty lawyer who becomes romantically entangled with a compulsive diarist (Renée Zellweger).
