Kirsten Dunst Reunites With Sofia Coppola For Her Next Film

It’s been years since we last saw Kirsten Dunst and Sofia Coppola working together, but that wait is finally coming to an end. Dunst recently revealed to Town & Country that she has joined Coppola’s next film, which is set to begin shooting next year. For fans of both women, it feels like the reunion we’ve all been waiting for.

Their partnership began back in 1999, when Coppola cast a teenage Dunst in The Virgin Suicides. The film became a defining moment for both their careers, marking the start of a creative connection that has only deepened with time. In 2006, they joined forces again for Marie Antoinette, where Dunst embodied the tragic French queen with a performance that was as playful as it was devastating. A decade later, they reunited for The Beguiled in 2017, a tense and beautifully shot Civil War drama. Dunst even popped up for a playful cameo in Coppola’s The Bling Ring in 2013, proving that their bond extends beyond leading roles.

Now, years later, the two are ready to tell another story together. Coppola hasn’t revealed any details yet — the script is still in progress — but the anticipation is already building. For many cinephiles, the Coppola–Dunst pairing has always promised a certain kind of magic: visually stunning worlds, layered characters, and emotions that linger long after the credits roll.

Coppola’s most recent film was Priscilla, a quiet, intimate portrait of Elvis Presley’s young wife, starring Cailee Spaeny. Next month, her documentary Marc by Sofia will debut at the Venice Film Festival. And while it’s hard to imagine her topping the delicate brilliance of Lost in Translation — the 2003 masterpiece that defined a generation — each of her films carries her signature touch, something that has kept audiences loyal to her vision.

As for Dunst, her career is thriving. She recently appeared in Alex Garland’s Civil War, a gripping story that captured headlines for its unsettling relevance. Up next, she’ll share the screen with Channing Tatum in Derek Cianfrance’s crime dramedy Roofman, before diving into Reptilia, a mermaid fantasy opposite Oscar-winner Mikey Madison.

Two decades after their first collaboration, Dunst and Coppola are returning to the kind of artistic partnership that shaped them both. The details of their new project may be a mystery, but one thing is certain: when these two come together, the result is always unforgettable.
