Rebecca Ferguson Trades Sci-Fi Spectacle For A Secret London Rom-Com With A Familiar Costar
Rebecca Ferguson has spent the better part of two years buried in explosions, missile threats, and desert politics, jumping between some of the biggest franchises in Hollywood. The Swedish actress has built a career on high stakes drama, whether she is facing down Tom Cruise in the ‘Mission Impossible’ series or navigating the political chaos of Arrakis in ‘Dune.’ So when word broke that she was on a film set with a noticeably softer tone, it caught plenty of fans off guard.
A social media account dedicated to tracking her career, Rebecca Ferguson Archive, shared footage this week showing the actress filming at Horse Guards Parade in central London. The post described the shoot simply as a rom-com, with Ferguson seen chatting with crew members near the historic parade ground while production assistants in high visibility vests managed the scene.
That sighting lines up with separate reporting from the entertainment tracking account Film Updates, which noted Rebecca Ferguson and Greta Lee have been spotted on the set of an untitled rom-com in London. The project remains unnamed for now, but the pairing is notable since the two actresses already share recent history together on screen.
Ferguson and Lee both appeared in Kathryn Bigelow’s political thriller ‘A House of Dynamite,’ a Netflix drama that follows the race to respond after a single, unattributed missile is launched at the United States. That film reunited an ensemble cast including Idris Elba, Gabriel Basso, and Jared Harris, and it marked Bigelow’s first film since 2017’s ‘Detroit.’ Now Ferguson and Lee appear to be teaming up again, this time for something with a very different energy.
The timing fits into what has already been a packed year for Ferguson. She starred alongside Chris Pratt in the sci-fi thriller ‘Mercy’ and joined Cillian Murphy in his final hour as Tommy Shelby in ‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.’ She is also expected to return as Lady Jessica later this year in ‘Dune: Part Three,’ with Villeneuve’s sci-fi threequel hitting theaters on December 18, and she remains attached to the Apple TV series ‘Silo’ as it heads into another season.
Lee, meanwhile, has kept just as busy. Beyond her Bigelow collaboration, she recently wrapped work on the Netflix sci-fi horror film ‘The Last House,’ which is directed by Louis Leterrier and set for release on August 7, 2026, and she remains attached to Disney’s ‘Tron: Ares.’ A rom-com would mark a noticeably lighter turn for an actress who has spent recent years bouncing between prestige drama and genre thrillers.
Neither Netflix, Ferguson, nor Lee has confirmed the project publicly, and details on the director, writer, or plot have not surfaced. Given the London filming location and the fact that both actresses have overlapping schedules tied to Netflix productions, speculation is already building around who might be backing the movie.
For now, fans are left piecing together the mystery from a handful of blurry clips and secondhand casting reports. Would you want to see Rebecca Ferguson and Greta Lee reunite for a romantic comedy after their intense turn in ‘A House of Dynamite’?
