Three-time Academy Award-winning director Steven Spielberg is involved in many projects at the moment, most of them as a producer. However, he also has a mysterious film he plans to write and direct, which has already set a release date.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Steven Spielberg’s new film will premiere on May 15, 2026. The movie will come from Universal and Ammblin Entertainment, Spielberg’s production company. So far, the movie doesn’t have a title, and is described as an original, based on a story by the critically acclaimed director. His longtime collaborator, David Koepp, will pen the script. The two have previously worked together on Jurassic Park and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which have brought in more than $3 billion at the worldwide box office.
