Overview
- Margot Robbie praises Jacob Elordi as “our generation’s Daniel Day-Lewis,” saying she watched him play Heathcliff and urging skeptics to “just wait.”
- Robbie recounts Emerald Fennell’s ambition for the film to be “this generation’s Titanic,” positioning the adaptation as a large‑scale, event romance.
- Addressing steamy marketing, Robbie says the film is “more romantic than provocative,” even as it contains sexual elements and a bold aesthetic.
- Fennell confirms Cathy is aged into her late 20s to early 30s in this version, and Robbie notes she began filming three months postpartum at the director’s urging to stay “in the moment.”
- Warner Bros. plans a theatrical release on Feb. 13, 2026, as online debate continues over departures from Emily Brontë’s character descriptions.
