2026 Releases

1. Couture (Coutures)

• Release Date: June 26, 2026 (US theatrical)

• Jolie stars as Maxine, an American filmmaker diagnosed with cancer during Paris Fashion Week. The drama intertwines the lives of three women navigating personal crises, self-discovery, and destiny.
• The film premiered at TIFF in 2025 and is generating buzz for its emotional depth and fashion-world setting. Jolie has been actively promoting it with trailers and appearances.

2. Sunny

• Expected Release: Late 2026 or early 2027
• Director: Eva Sørhaug
• A dark crime thriller where Jolie plays a tough female gangster fighting to protect her sons from an abusive drug kingpin. She is also producing the project.

2027 Projects (In Development / Filming)

3. The Initiative

• Expected Release: 2027
• Director: Doug Liman (Mr. & Mrs. Smith)
• A spy thriller reuniting Jolie with Liman. Details are still under wraps, but it is described as a high-stakes espionage story.

4. Anxious People

• Expected Release: 2027
• Director: Marc Forster (A Man Called Otto)
• A comedy-drama based on Fredrik Backman’s novel. Jolie stars alongside Aimee Lou Wood and Jason Segel. It explores human connection, anxiety, and relationships in a hostage-like situation turned heartfelt.

Other Notable Mentions

• Every Note Played: An adaptation of Lisa Genova’s novel (with Christoph Waltz) — still in early development.
• Maleficent 3: Talks continue for a third installment, but it is more likely slated for 2028 rather than 2027.

Jolie continues to balance acting with directing ambitions, humanitarian work, and her brand Atelier Jolie. Her 2026-2027 slate shows a deliberate mix of personal dramas and commercial thrillers as she enters a new life chapter, potentially spending more time abroad.

Her choices reflect her signature style: meaningful stories with strong female perspectives and global resonance. Stay tuned — more updates are expected as production progresses on these films.
