Steven Spielberg, renowned for classics like “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” and “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” is working on a new sci-fi movie. The script, penned by his long-time collaborator David Koepp, is based on Spielberg’s original idea.
The cast already includes Emily Blunt, Colman Domingo, Colin Firth, and Eve Hewson. Now, Josh O’Connor from “Challengers” has joined the project. However, details about the role he’ll play and the overall movie remain scarce.
What O’Connor’s Casting Means for Spielberg’s New UFO Movie
It’s Building a Star-Studded Cast
Despite limited details about Spielberg’s new movie, it’s known to have sci-fi elements and is his first major production since “Ready Player One” in 2018. The assembled cast is quite starry. Emily Blunt, fresh from an Oscar nomination for “Oppenheimer” and having led a sci-fi blockbuster in “Edge of Tomorrow,” is part of it.
Colin Firth, an Oscar winner for “The King’s Speech,” and Colman Domingo, who starred in Spielberg’s “Lincoln” and is fresh from an Oscar nomination for “Rustin,” are also on board. Eve Hewson, who previously worked with Spielberg in “Bridge of Spies,” rounds out the group. Josh O’Connor, an Emmy winner for “The Crown” and currently in the awards season buzz for “Challengers,” adds to the star power.

He’ll Stand Out in the Starry Ensemble
Josh O’Connor is an excellent addition to Spielberg’s new movie. His Emmy win for “The Crown” and engaging performance in “Challengers” showcase his talent. Along with some other cast members not typically associated with sci-fi, like Firth and Domingo, Spielberg likely aims to bring in fresh energy. O’Connor is poised to stand out among this star-studded group.
