Steven Spielberg’s UFO Movie Disclosure Day First Trailer Out
Steven Spielberg’s UFO movie Disclosure Day has finally dropped its first trailer, and it absolutely feels like him slipping right back into his old Close Encounters groove, just darker and weirder. The teaser doesn’t give you the whole puzzle, but it gives you enough pieces to make your brain itch in a good way.
Emily Blunt plays a Kansas City TV meteorologist who’s calmly doing the weather and then suddenly starts stuttering, locking up, and making these eerie, alien‑like clicking sounds on live television, as if something else just grabbed the mic inside her head. It’s one of those images that instantly feels iconic – you can already imagine people sharing that clip with “yeah, this is how disclosure actually happens” in the caption.
Spielberg is clearly back in his UFO bag here, and you can feel echoes of Close Encounters, Signs, and even a bit of War of the Worlds, but with this modern paranoia about information, whistleblowers and who gets to decide what the public knows.
The trailer is more about mood than plot: a somber tone, strange animals acting like they’ve read the script before the humans, crop circles, ominous skies, and characters staring at things just off‑screen that you really want the camera to show. It’s the kind of teaser that doesn’t explain much, but you hit replay anyway because it’s Spielberg and, honestly, he’s earned that level of trust over decades of UFO storytelling.
Disclosure Day Release Date
Disclosure Day is set to hit theatres on 12 June 2026, positioned squarely as one of Universal’s big summer tentpoles. That date keeps popping up everywhere: in the official teaser, in the studio notes, even on those cryptic “All will be disclosed” billboards that started appearing in places like Times Square and Los Angeles before the title was even public. It’s classic movie marketing mischief – give fans a weird eye and a sentence, let Reddit do the rest. DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) shared on X the first trailer for Steven Spielberg’s upcoming film Disclosure Day, set to release in theaters on June 12, 2026.
Summer 2026 is already looking crowded with heavy hitters lined up, but a Spielberg UFO movie automatically becomes an “event” release, no matter what else is on the calendar. It’s also his first feature since The Fabelmans in 2022, and his proper return to full‑blown alien territory after years of people asking when he’d go back to the stars.
Disclosure Day Cast
The cast of Disclosure Day is stacked, led by Emily Blunt with a really unsettling central turn as that weather reporter who basically becomes the world’s accidental UFO messenger. Sharing the spotlight is Josh O’Connor, playing a driven UFO whistleblower – the guy who claims to have made contact and now wants to dump the truth on all 7 billion people at once, whether the world is ready or not.
Around them, you’ve got:
-
Colin Firth, wired up to some ominous machine in the trailer, looking like a scientist or official who’s seen something he cannot un‑see.
-
Colman Domingo and Eve Hewson in key supporting roles, plus Wyatt Russell and Henry Lloyd‑Hughes rounding out the ensemble.
It’s the kind of cast where even the “side” roles feel like they’re going to matter a lot once the full story is out. And behind the camera, Spielberg teams up again with writer David Koepp (Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds) and longtime cinematographer Janusz Kamiński, which pretty much screams “big, cinematic UFO vibes” before you even press play on the teaser.
Disclosure Day Plot
The basic premise of Disclosure Day is that humanity might finally get undeniable proof we’re not alone, and the film asks what happens if that truth hits everyone at the exact same time. Blunt’s meteorologist seems to be one of the first people hijacked or “tuned in” by whatever alien presence is out there, with her on‑air meltdown turning her into a viral symbol of something bigger and much scarier brewing behind the scenes.
O’Connor’s character, meanwhile, looks like the human face of the whistleblower side of the story – the man desperate to share what he’s learned and push for full disclosure “to the whole world, all at once,” as he says in the trailer while standing in a crop circle. Around them, animals behave strangely, nuns and random onlookers react to unseen forces, and there are these creepy clicking voices and sentient‑feeling birds that suggest the aliens might be playing a long, subtle game rather than just dropping a mothership over a city.
The official tease boils it down to a simple question: if someone proved we weren’t alone, would that terrify you, or would you feel weirdly relieved that the universe isn’t just us? Knowing Spielberg, the movie won’t just be about UFOs; it’ll be about obsession, belief, power, and who actually gets to decide when “the truth” is ready for public consumption – which, let’s be honest, is a pretty perfect angle for a UFO story in 2026.
