What marks Daniel Day-Lewis’s return to cinema in 2025?

After seven years of self-imposed retirement, Daniel Day-Lewis is stepping back into the spotlight — and this time, it’s personal.

The legendary, three-time Oscar winner stars in “Anemone,” a new drama written and directed by his son, Ronan Day-Lewis. The film explores the emotional complexities of brotherhood and father-son relationships, drawing from deeply personal themes both men helped shape in the script.

Set to release on October 10, Anemone marks Daniel Day-Lewis’s first role since 2017’s “Phantom Thread”, which was originally meant to be his final performance.

His return — under the direction of his own son — makes Anemone one of the most anticipated cinematic events of the year. It's not just a comeback. It's a legacy moment.
