Angelina Jolie's newest movie Maria coming to Netflix after Venice premiere

As a cinephile who has witnessed the evolution of cinema and its stars over the past few decades, I can confidently say that the upcoming release of Angelina Jolie’s latest film “Maria” on Netflix is an event not to be missed! Having followed her illustrious career since her breakout role in “Girl, Interrupted,” it’s thrilling to see her return to the screen after a brief hiatus.


Prepare for the arrival of Angelina Jolie on Netflix! This esteemed Oscar-winning actress is set to premiere her latest buzzworthy film on the streaming platform following a break from the screen since 2021’s Marvel movie, Eternals. Undoubtedly, this promises to be quite an occasion.

On August 28th, Netflix secured the rights for Angelina Jolie’s upcoming movie “Maria,” before its debut on the 29th at the Venice Film Festival. This film is directed by Pablo Larraín, who has previously helmed Oscar-nominated movies like “Jackie,” “Spencer,” and “El Conde.”

Maria is a work by Stephen Knight, famed for creating Peaky Blinders and writing various films such as Spencer. Knight is also the creator and writer of the Emmy-nominated limited Netflix series All the Light We Cannot See.

In the upcoming movie, Angelina Jolie portrays Maria Callas, the famed opera singer who died at 53 in Paris in 1977. The film delves into the intricacies of Callas’ life and her tragic final days. This drama production is described as a “psychological portrait” of Callas and is set to premiere on Netflix soon, possibly before the end of this year for the awards season.

Upon learning that Netflix secured the distribution rights for the film “Maria,” its director, Pablo Larraín, released a statement. Here’s what the Academy Award nominee had to say about working with Netflix on the movie “Maria” as reported by The Hollywood Reporter:

I’m excited to partner again with the Netflix team who care so passionately about movies. This film is my most personal work yet. It is a creative imagining and psychological portrait of Maria Callas who, after dedicating her life to performing for audiences around the world, decides finally to find her own voice, her own identity, and sing for herself. I’m deeply honored to tell this story and share it with audiences worldwide like Maria did with her life.
