Edward Norton has provided us with multiple immortal performances and is one of Hollywood’s most accomplished actors. Movies like ‘Primal Fear’ (1996), ‘American History X’ (1998), ‘Fight Club’ (1999), ‘The Italian Job’ (2003), ‘The Illusionist’ (2006), ‘25th Hour’ (2002), ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ (2014), and ‘Birdman Or (The Unexpected Virtue Of Ignorance)’ (2014) are all proof of this. He also delivers impressive performances in ‘Moonrise Kingdom’ (2012) and ‘Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery’ (2022). The suavity that Norton brings to each of his characters, despite their respective natures, is unique and something only he is capable of in his own way. With multiple Oscar nominations in his pocket, his upcoming ventures never fail to raise excitement among cinephiles. If you are one among them, here are his upcoming projects!
1. The Invite (June 26, 2026)
Norton will star alongside Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, and Penélope Cruz in Wilde’s comedy drama ‘The Invite.’ Written by Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, the film centers on a couple, Joe and Angela, who don’t have people over often. One night, their mysterious upstairs neighbors are coming down for dinner. What follows is an evening of unexpected twists and turns, revealing deeply repressed emotions and unexplored sexuality. The movie is a remake of the remake of Cesc Gay’s Spanish film ‘The People Upstairs,’ which itself is an adaptation of Cesc Gay’s stage play ‘Els veins de dalt / Los vecinos de arriba.’ The movie premiered at the Eccles Theater as a part of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival in January 2026 and will get a limited theatrical release on June 26, 2026. You can watch the trailer here.
2. Porto Rico (TBA)
Norton will star alongside Javier Bardem and Viggo Mortensen in Grammy Award-winning rapper René “Residente” Pérez Joglar’s feature directorial debut ‘Porto Rico.’ Joglar and Alexander Dinelaris wrote the screenplay. The epic Caribbean western historical drama will feature Benito “Bad Bunny” Martínez Ocasio in the lead as Puerto Rican revolutionary José Maldonado Román, known as Águila Blanca (White Eagle). The movie will be set on the island in the late 19th century. Maldonado Román fought against colonialism by leading a gang of ex-convicts to vindicate Puerto Rico as it sought its identity as a country. Production is expected to begin soon.
