Emily Blunt’s box office slump could turn around with a role in Steven Spielberg’s movie, where Eve Hewson is also in talks.
Steven Spielberg is coming back with yet another intriguing movie about which only a little is known till now. Earlier rumors claimed Emily Blunt is in talks for the lead role. Now, Netflix’s The Perfect Couple star, Eve Hewson is also in talks for the movie, whether for the same role or a different one is not known yet.
Blunt’s post-Oppenheimer box office run hasn’t been stellar. The Fall Guy came and went totally overlooked by moviegoers. With the animated movie IF in the mix also not having done that great, landing a Spielberg flick could be her chance to turn things around. Missing out on this role would be a real nightmare for her!
Eve Hewson in Talks for Upcoming Steven Spielberg Movie!
Eve Hewson is reportedly eyeing a potential reunion with Steven Spielberg for his next major not-yet-name film, which has fans buzzing with excitement. Deadline reported that the actress is in early talks to join Spielberg’s upcoming film at Universal Pictures. Hewson previously worked with the Oscar-winning director on his 2015 historical drama Bridge of Spies.
Fans may know Hewson for starring alongside Nicole Kidman in Netflix’s The Perfect Couple, or also from Bad Sisters, Flora and Son, The Knick, Enough Said, and This Must Be The Place.
Back when the project was officially announced in May, rumors were around that Emily Blunt might be in for the lead role, with Colin Firth also reportedly in early talks to join the cast. However, till now no official cast announcements have been made yet, only time will tell how this is all going to go down! Although the plot remains under wraps, it’s rumored that the upcoming event film will delve into the world of UFOs.
How This Yet-To-be-Titled Steven Spielberg Movie Could Change Things for Emily Blunt!
It’s still unclear whether Eve Hewson is in the running for the same role as Emily Blunt or a different one in Spielberg’s 2026 film. But missing out on a Spielberg project, which typically guarantees a box office hit, could be a significant blow for the talented actress.
Steven Spielberg, with multiple billion-dollar films to his name and his latest, The Fabelmans, earning seven Academy Award nominations including Best Picture, is diving into the world of UFOs with this new project. Given his track record, expectations are sky-high!

On the other hand, despite the astounding success of Oppenheimer both critically and commercially, Emily Blunt’s The Fall Guy which followed the “Barbenheimer” hype, didn’t fare as well at the box office, grossing only $180 million worldwide against a $125 million production budget as per Box Office Mojo.
Meanwhile, her husband, John Krasinski’s directorial effort, IF, managed to pull in $190.3 million globally (via Box Office Mojo), even with a stellar cast. Blunt is in dire need of another blockbuster, and Spielberg is undoubtedly the perfect choice to get her out of this dip.
The untitled Steve Spielberg film is set to release on May 15, 2026.
