For a while, it was simply known as ‘Steven Spielberg’s UFO Movie’. Or, ‘Steven Spielberg’s Upcoming Alien Film’. Now, we know it by its official title: Disclosure Day is coming. Yes, this is the highly secretive new Spielberg summer blockbuster, and while the first trailer doesn’t actually revolve around UFOs, it does tease some spooky imagery, unearthly happenings, crop circles – and a majorly starry cast. Check out the first trailer here:
This one has no official synopsis, and even the trailer keeps the sense of mystery going. So here’s what we do know: Spielberg is directing from a David Koepp script (the pair having previously worked together on Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull and, notably, War Of The Worlds). And, as you’ll see, it stars Emily Blunt, plus Wake Up Dead Man’s Josh O’Connor, as well as Wyatt Russell, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo.
Now, let’s head into the realm of speculation. The trailer appears to position O’Connor’s character as someone who has found evidence of extraterrestrial activity; we see Blunt’s weather reporter seemingly taken over by an entity as she speaks a strange language; there’s something going on with the animals, as birds and deer start acting strangely; and did Colin Firth just place himself inside someone else’s body, Avatar-style? Beyond all those questions, this being Spielberg means there’s big action in there too, so prepare for the director’s first blockbuster since Ready Player One back in 2018.
Since the word ‘disclosure’ is often used in relation to the revealing of alien contact, it seems like we are in for Steven Spielberg’s Upcoming Alien Film after all. Since he’s got something of a track record in that regard (Close Encounters! E.T.!), that’s a highly exciting prospect. See you in the cinemas on Disclosure Day day, June 12 2026.
