Robbie Backs Elordi as Fennell Targets Titanic-Level Impact With Wuthering Heights

A new British Vogue interview emphasizes a romance-first vision ahead of the February 2026 theatrical release.

Overview

  • Margot Robbie says Emerald Fennell wants the adaptation to be "this generation's Titanic," recalling their early conversations.
  • Robbie argues the film is "more romantic than provocative" despite steamy trailers and marketing.
  • She defends Jacob Elordi’s casting after online criticism over Heathcliff’s described appearance and calls him "our generation’s Daniel Day-Lewis."
  • Fennell confirms her Cathy is older than in the novel, and Robbie adds she began filming three months postpartum with a looser preparation.
  • Warner Bros. schedules the release for Feb. 13, 2026, with an original soundtrack by Charli XCX.
