Whenever Martin Scorsese decides to stop making movies, he’ll be remembered in rarified air as one of the greatest to ever step behind the camera. It’s difficult to pinpoint what he’s best known for, considering he has so many classics, but it’s hard to leave out older hits like Taxi Driver (Robert De Niro) as some of the finest work of his career. More recently, he reunited with De Niro and teamed up with his long-time collaborator Leonardo DiCaprio for the ambitious crime epic, Killers of the Flower Moon, which has been streaming on Apple TV since its run in theaters. The film earned widespread critical acclaim and was even nominated for 10 Oscars, but it went home from the 2024 ceremonies empty-handed, mostly due to the overwhelming competition from Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.

Back in 2019, Scorsese teamed up with De Niro once more for one of his most underappreciated movies, The Irishman. The 3.5-hour epic crime saga tells the story of Frank Sheeran, a WWII veteran-turned-hit man for the Bufalino crime family. He ultimately assassinated his close friend Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino) later in his career, which sent his life into a downward spiral. It’s been almost seven years since The Irishman arrived on Netflix — the film was released straight to streaming and did not receive a theatrical release — but it continues to age like fine wine. The Irishman is in the Netflix global top 10 in a few countries around the world, but its streaming resurgence hasn’t come out of nowhere. Fans are craving a new Martin Scorsese movie now that it’s been a few years since one of his pictures hit the big screen.

What Do We Know About Martin Scorsese’s Next Movie?

Martin Scorsese’s next movie does not yet have an official release date, but it’s now in production and expected to premiere later this year. The film, titled What Happens at Night, stars Leonardo DiCaprio opposite Jennifer Lawrence and Mads Mikkelsen, and it follows an American married couple who visit a snowy European town to adopt. Scorsese is also attached to direct a new Hawaii-set crime thriller starring DiCaprio opposite Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt. It’s likely to be his next movie once he wraps production on What Happens at Night.
