Director Steven Spielberg has revealed the title and first teaser trailer for his upcoming sci-fi film Disclosure Day, marking his return to extraterrestrial themes. Starring Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor, the movie explores the revelation of alien life to the world. It is set for release on June 12, 2026.
Trailer Highlights
The teaser trailer for Disclosure Day, released on December 16, 2025, by Universal Pictures, opens with a provocative question: "If you found out we weren't alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you?" Emily Blunt portrays a meteorologist delivering a weather report on live television, who suddenly stammers and emits strange, alien-like clicking sounds, suggesting possession or communication from extraterrestrials. Josh O'Connor's character emphasizes the need for transparency, stating, "People have a right to know the truth," and plans for "full disclosure, to the whole world, all at once." The footage includes eerie elements like crop circles and a character standing within one, hinting at UFO involvement and government conspiracies.
Cast and Crew
Joining Blunt and O'Connor are Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, and Eve Hewson. The screenplay is by David Koepp, a frequent Spielberg collaborator known for Jurassic Park and War of the Worlds, based on an original story by the director. Spielberg produces via Amblin Entertainment alongside Kristie Macosko Krieger, with Adam Somner and Chris Brigham as executive producers. John Williams is composing the original score.
Background and Context
Disclosure Day represents Spielberg's first major sci-fi project since 2018's Ready Player One and follows his Oscar-nominated 2022 drama The Fabelmans. It echoes his iconic alien films like Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), blending spectacle with human emotion. Prior to the trailer, speculation built around cryptic billboards featuring an eye and the phrase "All will be disclosed," linked only by Spielberg's name and the summer 2026 release date. The studio describes it as a "new original event film" in the thriller genre, with no full plot synopsis yet available.
Release Details
The film arrives in theaters on June 12, 2026, positioning it as a summer blockbuster in the vein of Spielberg's classics like Jaws and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
