(NewsNation) — Universal Pictures released the first trailer for Steven Spielberg’s upcoming alien film “Disclosure Day” on Tuesday.
The movie opens on June 12, 2026, and stars Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, Eve Hewson, Wyatt Russell and Henry Lloyd-Hughes.
“If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people. We are coming close to … ‘Disclosure Day,’” reads the movie’s logline.
In the trailer, Academy Award nominee Blunt is seen seemingly overtaken by some unseen force while delivering a weather report on live TV.
O’Connor stars as a man who wants to expose the truth about extraterrestrial life to the rest of the world.
Billboards popped up in Los Angeles and New York’s Times Square last week, teasing the legendary director’s next film with the line, “All will be disclosed.”
