Leonardo DiCaprio says his next career move is less about a surprise and more about a reunion following rave reviews for his latest film, One Battle After Another, according to movieweb.com.
The actor recently shared that his dream project is to work with director Martin Scorsese again.
“It would be the ultimate gift,” DiCaprio told ET Online at the film’s LA premiere. “Marty is our national treasure.”
The 50-year-old actor has collected six Oscar nominations — and one win — from collaborations with Scorsese that span Gangs of New York to last year’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
Industry watchers now predict DiCaprio could notch another Academy mention for Anderson’s gritty crime thriller, opening September 26. Variety calls his turn as rogue operative Bob Ferguson “a career-best voltage performance,” while IndieWire deems the 160-minute epic “an instant classic.”
DiCaprio, who waited 20 years to work with Anderson, praised the director as “a seminal visionary,” but admits he’s ready to pivot. “I want to keep telling stories that last generations — and Marty does that better than anyone.”
Sony Pictures, which distributed the duo’s last three films, has yet to confirm a new Scorsese-DiCaprio project, but sources say a 2026 adaptation of Pulitzer finalist The Wager is circling the star.
