Oscar Isaac, born on March 9, 1979, in Guatemala, is a versatile and acclaimed actor whose filmography boasts both mainstream blockbusters and critically acclaimed indie films. He first made his mark in the world of cinema with his first major appearance in the 2006 biblical drama film ‘The Nativity Story.’ However, it was his breakthrough role in the 2013 film ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ that garnered him widespread attention. Isaac’s talent for bringing complex characters to life quickly became evident, and he soon established himself as one of the most respected actors in Hollywood. Isaac’s diverse and impressive body of work continues to captivate audiences and solidify his place as one of the most talented actors of his generation. As far as his future endeavors are concerned, here is a glimpse of his upcoming projects.
1. Beef Season 2 (April 16, 2026)
Beef Season 2 is all set to arrive, with Isaac roped in to star along with Carey Mulligan. The plot will follow a young couple who witness an alarming fight between their boss and his wife, triggering a game of favors and coercion in the elitist world of a country club and its Korean billionaire owner. ‘Beef’ was created by Lee Sung Jin, who also serves as the showrunner. Co-cast members include Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton, Cailee Spaeny, and Yuh-Jung Youn. Season 2 will consist of eight 30-minute episodes.

2. In the Hand of Dante (2026)
‘In the Hand of Dante’ is directed by Julian Schnabel. Adapted for the screen by Schnabel from Nick Tosches’s 2002 novel ‘In the Hand of Dante,’ it will feature two parallel timelines. One will trace the escape of scholar Nick and his lover, Guilietta, from the mafia after he obtained the original manuscript of Dante Alighieri’s “The Divine Comedy,” which the mafia boss asked him to check for authenticity. Another timeline will trace Dante’s escape from his loveless marriage to Sicily, where he writes “The Divine Comedy,” dedicated to Beatrice, his lost love. The cast includes Isaac, Gerard Butler, Al Pacino, Jason Momoa, Gal Gadot, John Malkovich, Benjamin Clémentine, and Louis Cancelmi. Martin Scorsese serves as a producer and stars in the film. ‘Hand of Dante’ had its world premiere out of competition at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival in September 2025. Netflix acquired distribution rights to the film in March 2026, so we can expect it to arrive in 2026. You can watch an official clip of the movie right here.
3. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse (June 18, 2027)
‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ is an eagerly anticipated animated action-adventure film that continues the storyline from its predecessor, ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.’ The film will be directed by the talented trio of Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson. Oscar Isaac is returning to lend his voice to the character Miguel O’Hara. The ensemble voice cast features other notable talents such as Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Jake Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, and Issa Rae.
Originally scheduled for a March 2024 release, the third installment in the ‘Spider-Verse’ series encountered an unfortunate setback. In July 2023, the production faced delays due to the strikes involving writers and actors in Hollywood. Currently in its filming stage, the feature will be released on June 18, 2027.
4. Bananas (TBA)
Isaac will star alongside Ana de Armas in David O. Russell’s high-profile drama series ‘Bananas,’ backed by Apple TV+. Created by Carolina Paiz, the series’ plot is yet to be revealed, although the title refers to so-called banana republics, a term used to describe politically and economically unstable countries in areas such as Central America. The project is reportedly undergoing production, but more details are awaited.
5. Fury (TBA)
Isaac is re-teaming with Guillermo del Toro for the latter’s crime thriller feature ‘Fury.’ Del Toro and Scott Frank wrote the story, which follows two men carrying their past regrets who travel together on a journey while reminiscing, talking, and committing a brutal series of murders. In the director’s own words, “it’s going back to [the] sort of thriller aspects of Nightmare Alley – very cruel, very violent. Like My Dinner with Andre, but [with] killing people after each course.” (told the TIFF audience.) There is still time before the production of ‘Fury’ begins.
6. London (TBA)
Oscar Isaac is poised to take the lead in the forthcoming film ‘London,’ an adaptation of Jo Nesbø’s short story, under the direction of the talented Ben Stiller. The screenplay, skillfully penned by Eric Roth, adds an air of intrigue to the project, although its details are still concealed. Notably, Isaac assumes dual roles as the film’s star and producer. As ‘London’ remains in its pre-production phase, audiences eagerly anticipate forthcoming updates on this cinematic venture.
7. Stowaway (TBA)
Isaac will play conman Juan Carlos Guzmán in the Apple TV+ series ‘Stowaway.’ Developed by Steven Levenson, the story centers on Guzmán, who was discovered as a wheel-well stowaway in 1993, almost frozen onto the wheels of a cargo jet that landed in Miami. He claimed to be a 13-year-old orphan from Colombia, risking a better life in America. Truth be told, Guzmán was 17 years old, with an aunt in Miami and a mother alive and worried sick about him in Bogota. Over the next two decades, Guzmán gained international notoriety, becoming the greatest conman alive. The pilot will be directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon. Currently in pre-production, ‘Stowaway’ is yet to get a release date.
