Los Angeles, Hollywood veteran Steven Spielberg is set to begin his next feature directorial project, which will release in theaters worldwide in May 2026.

Hollywood studio Universal and Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment announced the filmmaker's new film on Thursday.

The film, which is currently untitled, has been described as an "original film", reports entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter.

Based on a story by Spielberg, the screenplay is written by longtime collaborator David Koepp, who previously collaborated with the director on "Jurassic Park" and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

Spielberg last directed the semi-autobiographical "The Fablemans," which was released in 2022.

Released by Universal, the Amblin film received seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Direction, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, and Best Picture.
