Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights has sparked a storm over casting Margot Robbie as Catherine and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. Casting director Kharmel Cochrane urged critics to wait for the film, saying adaptations don’t always need strict accuracy. Fans have raised concerns about age and representation, with heated reactions online after a steamy teaser dropped.
Emerald Fennell’s new Wuthering Heights pairs Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Catherine and Heathcliff in a Gothic psychological drama. Backed by Warner Bros. and LuckyChap, it’s shot in VistaVision and geared for a Valentine’s Day launch. A September 2025 teaser carried the line “Drive me mad.” The film opens internationally from Feb 11, 2026, and in U.S. theaters on Feb 13.
