Overview

• Warner Bros. unveiled the first teaser on September 3 for Emerald Fennell’s film opening February 14, 2026, with Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff.
• Early viewer reactions praised the visible chemistry between Robbie and Elordi, with some calling the pairing ideal for the story’s intensity.
• Critics online challenged the casting and fidelity, citing Elordi’s whiteness as Heathcliff, Robbie’s age and appearance as Catherine, and concerns over departures from Emily Brontë’s text.
• The teaser uses a Charli XCX remix and showcases stylized, steamy imagery with deliberate anachronisms, signaling an overtly contemporary marketing tone.
• A viral TikTok suggests a possible metafictional angle for Robbie’s character based on quotation marks in the title card, a theory not confirmed by the filmmakers.
