Colman Domingo In Talks to Join Steven Spielberg’s UFO Movie

Academy Award-nominated actor Colman Domingo is in talks to join Steven Spielberg‘s upcoming event film, according to a report from Deadline.

Domingo, who has starred in films like Lincoln, Selma, If Beale Street Could Talk, and 2024’s Sing Sing, is said to be in “early talks” to star in the film. So far, no official comment or announcement has been made, but should Domingo join the film, it’ll be yet another high-profile name attached to the project.

So far, Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, and Eve Hewson are set to star in the movie, which is still mostly a mystery to many.

What do we know about Steven Spielberg’s next movie?

Spielberg’s next film will be backed by Universal Pictures and is set to open on May 15, 2026. As of yet, it’s unclear what the project will be called or even about, although previous reports did note that Spielberg was working on an original UFO story.

Spielberg will be working with David Koepp on the film, with Koepp writing the script for the project. The pair are no strangers to each other, with Koepp having written 1993’s Jurassic Park, 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park, 2005’s War of the Worlds, and 2008’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull for Spielberg.

Spielberg’s last feature film was 2022’s The Fabelmans, a project that was written and directed by Spielberg and told a fictionalized version of his adolescence and first years as a filmmaker.
