Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese are set to collaborate once again, continuing one of modern cinema’s most successful actor-director partnerships.
The pair has delivered several acclaimed films together, including The Wolf of Wall Street, Gangs of New York, and Shutter Island. Their most recent project, Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), received widespread praise and secured ten Academy Award nominations, further cementing their creative legacy.
Their upcoming film, What Happens at Night, is scheduled to begin production in February 2026, according to Collider. The project was first announced in September, with Jennifer Lawrence cast opposite DiCaprio in a leading role.
