According to insider Jeff Sneider, Cailee Spaeny may join the project — an actress familiar to audiences from “Alien: Romulus” and Alex Garland’s “Civil War”. If the leak is accurate, this will become another collaboration of hers with Garland, who is currently directing the Elden Ring movie.
There is no official confirmation yet, but speculation has already surfaced on social media: she might play Melina. And not without reason — Spaeny indeed looks the part. In the game, Melina is the player’s mysterious companion associated with Sites of Grace. She is a complex character with deep nuances and a crucial role in the story.
The A24 project was launched three years after the game’s release. Garland (“Ex Machina”, “Annihilation”) is in the director’s chair, while George Martin, one of the creators of the universe, is listed as a producer. According to rumors, filming will begin in 2026, and the premiere will take place no earlier than 2027.
Spaeny is not the only candidate. Kit Connor (“Heartstopper”) and one of the actors who played James Bond have also been mentioned, though exactly who has not been revealed.
