"I was really lucky. I was going to take a break for a while, and then Emerald just very simply texted me, and you can’t run from that text," the 27-year-old actor told IndieWire in an interview.

The upcoming film stars Margot Robbie and is an adaptation of the 1847 novel by Emily Bronte. The plot follows the tumultuous relationship between Catherine Earnshaw (Robbie) and Heathcliff (Elordi).

When asked about his experience of working with the "Barbie" actor, Elordi said, "She’s incredible in the film, she’s a livewire. I’m so, so excited for people to see it. She’s a beautiful actor and she gave so, so much." "Wuthering Heights" is slated to release on February 13, 2026. It also stars Hong Chau, Alison Oliver and Shazad Latif.
