Rebecca Ferguson smiling on the red carpet
2026 has already been the year of Rebecca Ferguson, and it’s lining up to get even bigger as the months pass. She kicked things off by starring opposite Chris Pratt in the polarizing sci-fi blockbuster, Mercy, which underwhelmed at the box office before going on a dominating streaming run.
Less than two weeks ago, Ferguson teamed up with Cillian Murphy for the highly anticipated Peaky Blinders sequel movie, The Immortal Man, which is still sitting comfortably atop Netflix streaming charts despite airing 10 days ago. She’s also slated to reprise her role as Lady Jessica in Dune: Part Three later this year, and she’ll return to star as Juliette Nichols in the third season of Silo this summer. Safe to say 2026 is the year of Rebecca Ferguson. Between all these projects, though, comes a new fantasy movie that Ferguson has been tapped to star in with Andrew Garfield. She’s been tapped as one of the leads in The Magic Faraway Tree, the new fantasy film based on the novel that was first published in 1939. The Magic Faraway Tree began playing in theaters internationally this past weekend, but the film is still lacking distribution in America. Still, it has earned enough reviews to be given a score on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, and it’s leaving its mark with a perfect 100% debut. It’s officially Ferguson’s highest-rated movie of 2026, following Mercy at 25% and The Immortal Man at 91%. This perfect 100% score from critics for The Magic Faraway Tree also comes from 22 reviews, so while it is a relatively small sample size that could yet change, it’s enough to be taken seriously.
