Colman Domingo in Talks For Steven Spielberg's Mysterious Event Film

As a fan who has been following Colman Domingo’s incredible journey, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement at the prospect of him joining forces with the legendary Steven Spielberg! With his recent Oscar nomination for Rustin and the buzz surrounding his performance in Sing Sing, it seems that 2024 is turning out to be Colman’s year.


Following his Oscar nomination for Best Actor in “Rustin”, Colman Domingo is currently discussing a role in Steven Spielberg’s unnamed upcoming film, alongside an impressive ensemble cast. Spielberg is gearing up to re-enter the summer movie scene with this new project, which is being penned by his frequent collaborator and renowned screenwriter David Koepp. Details about the intriguing movie are being tightly guarded, but early hints suggest it could be one of Spielberg’s most thrilling projects in a long time.

According to Deadline, Colman Domingo is in negotiations to become part of the cast for Steven Spielberg’s upcoming movie. If everything works out, Colman will join Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, and Eve Hewson in this as-yet-unnamed production. At present, Colman is receiving praise for his role in this year’s Sing Sing, further boosting his recent streak of awards. The storyline details are yet to be revealed, but the cast is slowly being assembled. Interestingly, Universal has already set a summer 2026 release date for Spielberg’s film in their schedule. This will mark Spielberg’s return to large-scale cinema after working on the more intimate project, The Fabelmans.

Without a doubt, there’s no definite hint yet that Spielberg’s next movie will be an action-packed blockbuster, but the timing of its release and being labeled as an “event film” suggests it might be. The fact that Domingo, Emily Blunt, and Colin Firth are part of the cast speaks volumes about the film’s grandeur. There’s a strong sense of anticipation surrounding the movie, as everything points to this being one of Spielberg’s biggest films in a while.

After publishing “Ready Player One” in 2018, Steven Spielberg shifted his focus from summer blockbusters towards creating more emotionally resonant pieces. This transition can be seen in projects like directing a musical drama in “West Side Story” and telling a semi-autobiographical story in “The Fabelmans”. Given the impressive lineup of blockbusters he’s directed previously, it’s no surprise that Spielberg has been producing fewer summer hits as time goes on. The upcoming film featuring Colman Domingo is being prepared for release during the summer, marking a return to what initially propelled Spielberg to global fame. Furthermore, this film will be based on an original story by Spielberg, rather than an existing intellectual property.

Dominick takes on Spielberg’s new project while juggling a packed schedule that includes him sharing screen time with Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic. He will lend his voice to the famous Marvel antagonist Norman Osborn in Disney+’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, slated for release on the streaming platform this year. Recently, he was seen in the remake of The Color Purple, which Spielberg also produced, having directed the 1985 original. In the upcoming movie, the actor will work with the director again after their collaboration in Lincoln, starring Daniel Day-Lewis. Currently, Dominick is set to act, direct, and co-write a musical biopic about Nat King Cole.

The Steven Spielberg event film is set to release on May 15, 2026.
