You’ve got to hand it to Leonardo DiCaprio — if it weren’t for his attachment to many of the auteur-driven films he’s starred in, some of them might never have been made.
Over the course of his 30-year acting career, DiCaprio has worked with PTA, Scorsese (six times), Spielberg, Nolan, Tarantino (twice), Eastwood, Cameron, Iñárritu, Luhrmann (twice), Allen, Mendes, Scott, and Boyle. What’s left? Coen? Fincher? Cuarón?
As his first collaboration with Paul Thomas Anderson nears release, DiCaprio says the next goal for his career is the most predictable one. He tells ET Online that his plan for the future is to collaborate with Martin Scorsese again:
“To me, always working with Marty again is the ultimate gift. He’s a national treasure and the world’s greatest director. So, if I get another opportunity, that would be a dream come true.”
Back in June, a report revealed that DiCaprio had exited Damien Chazelle’s Evel Knievel biopic — effectively derailing the project — in order to “reteam with Martin Scorsese one more time due to the legendary filmmaker’s advancing age.” I recently reported that Scorsese does not plan to shoot a film this year, and that the best-case scenario is an early 2026 shoot.
What that project might be is still uncertain, though many signs point toward the Hawaiian mob movie co-starring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt, which is set up at Disney’s 20th Century Studios.
As far as we know, Scorsese, 82, is attached to numerous other projects as well, including “Home,” “Devil in the White City,” “The Life of Jesus,” “Sinatra,” “Midnight Vendetta,” and — far less likely— “The Wager.”
