Elordi, Robbie Spark Debate in Wuthering Heights Film

Jacob Elordi, who had planned to take a break from acting, was personally approached by director Emerald Fennell to star as Heathcliff in her adaptation of Emily Brontë’s 'Wuthering Heights,' with Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw. Elordi praised Fennell's direct approach and Robbie's performance, expressing excitement for the film's release set for February 13, 2026. The film, produced by Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment, marks a renewed collaboration between Fennell and Elordi following 'Saltburn.' Early promotional materials for the adaptation have sparked mixed reactions online, especially concerning its tone and interpretation of the classic novel. Elordi did not audition for the role due to his prior work with Fennell and remains involved in other projects, including Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein' and the third season of 'Euphoria.'
