Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” is the 2026 film with Margot Robbie as Cathy and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. Warner Bros. Discovery also announced a presentation with American Sign Language, performed by Leila Hanaumi and Giovanni Maucere and directed by Justin Jackerson.
Identify the adaptation first
Fennell wrote and directed this version from Emily Brontë’s novel. The names Cathy and Heathcliff carry across discussions of the book and its screen versions. To identify this film, add Fennell or the Robbie–Elordi cast pairing. Warner Bros. uses quotation marks around the title in its film materials, so searches may show versions of the spelling with and without them.
If someone remembers the main relationship and little about the release, ask which actors played it. The cast is a more dependable discriminator than a general description of Cathy and Heathcliff’s romance. The same title and characters can survive across several adaptations.
Ask for the signed presentation by name
An ASL performance uses American Sign Language. Captions provide written text, and dubbed audio changes the spoken performance. A listing with English captions therefore answers a different accessibility question from a listing for the signed version. Warner Bros. Discovery’s announcement identifies an ASL presentation with two credited performers, which gives you a precise label to request.
For a shared watch, first agree on the Fennell film, then specify the type of language support each person wants. If a listing only says English, check whether it is describing the spoken track, subtitles or captions. If you are looking for Hanaumi and Maucere’s performance, look for the ASL presentation specifically. The studio’s ASL trailer can help you recognise the edition before comparing the full film listings.
