Cannes 2026: New films from Deneuve and Cotillard, Travolta's directorial debut
- Marion Cotillard is attending the Cannes Film Festival with two new films, Karma and Roma Elastica, returning to the festival while restarting her career after years away from Hollywood.
- Cotillard stepped back from American films to focus on raising her two children with former partner Guillaume Canet, who wrote the Karma script specifically for her, offering a "very, very strong character."
- In Karma, Cotillard plays Jeanne, a woman with a troubled past whose life unravels when a child vanishes; she told Variety her passion for "very deep and intense" roles makes her return to acting easier.
- As her children grow older, the French actress intends to pursue more mainstream roles, with upcoming projects including Milo and Job, which she plans to film in early 2027.
- Recognized for her career, the Academy Award-winning star was selected for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as part of the Class of 2026 and recently appeared in The Morning Show alongside Reese Witherspoon.
