Russell Crowe is gearing up for a busy period with upcoming projects, including the action film Beast, set to release next weekend. The movie features Crowe alongside Luke Hemsworth and Daniel MacPherson, appealing to fans of MMA dramas like Dwayne Johnson’s 2025 biopic, The Smashing Machine.

Upcoming Projects for Russell Crowe

Crowe is also currently filming Highlander, a remake of the 1986 classic starring Henry Cavill and Dave Bautista. The remake is directed by Chad Stahelski, known for his work on the John Wick franchise. While a release date hasn’t been announced, Highlander is anticipated to arrive in theaters sometime next year.

'Nuremberg's' Success

2025 saw Crowe return to the big screen with Nuremberg, a WWII courtroom drama co-starring Rami Malek and Michael Shannon. The film, released on November 7, 2025, earned Crowe early Oscar buzz for his portrayal of Hermann Göring, though he wasn’t ultimately nominated.

Critical and Commercial Reception

Nuremberg grossed nearly $50 million worldwide and topped VOD charts for weeks. The film, written and directed by James Vanderbilt and based on Jack El-Hai’s book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, debuted on Netflix last month and has remained a popular choice for viewers.

Despite his absence from Gladiator 2, a sequel to one of his most iconic roles, Crowe expressed a desire to be involved and voiced criticism of the film, stating the creatives didn’t capture the essence of the original.

Nuremberg is currently available to stream on Netflix in America. Stay tuned to Collider for further updates on Russell Crowe’s future endeavors.
