Wuthering Heights will not be featuring one of director Emerald Fennell's most frequent collaborators. Fennell previously helmed the 2020 revenge movie Promising Young Woman, for which she won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and the 2023 dramedy thriller Saltburn, which was nominated for two Golden Globes.
Per Variety, Carey Mulligan - who played the lead character in Promising Young Woman and turned in a memorable supporting performance in Saltburn - will not be reuniting with the director for Wuthering Heights, which she says is currently in production. Mulligan, who is busy shooting Beef season 2, shared this announcement at the Variety Studio at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival with some regret, though she said that she hopes that she can appear in"all of in the future.
The classic novel Wuthering Heights was originally published in 1847, with Brontë using the pseudonym Ellis Bell. However, the movie does feature multiple reunions between Emerald Fennell and other previous collaborators. While this is the first of the director's movies to star Margot Robbie, Robbie produced both Promising Young Woman and Saltburn in addition to co-starring with Fennell in the 2023 smash hit Barbie, in which the director played a minor supporting role as Midge. Additionally, Jacob Elordi was one of the lead stars of Saltburn, so Wuthering Heights marks their second collaboration.
Our Take On Carey Mulligan's Absence From Wuthering Heights She Can Still Return To Emerald Fennell's Filmography Although her commitments to Beef season 2 have seemingly prevented her from making an appearance in Wuthering Heights, this does not mean that Mulligan will never again appear in an Emerald Fennell movie.
