The final trailer for Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day dropped and whew! It’s a doozy!

As I mentioned previously, the trailers before this one were opaque (though star Emily Blunt laid out some of the plot in a clip released yesterday). Today’s trailer, however, lets it all out, and includes commentary from Spielberg himself about how he believes intelligent alien civilizations are out there, and “wouldn’t it be wonderful for people to know all of this [this being aliens on Earth] is true?”

We find out in today’s trailer that Blunt’s character, Margaret, and Josh O’Connor’s character, Daniel, first met each other as children when they were abducted by aliens and had something done to their brains (or at least their pupils). The two reconnect as adults when those latent powers are apparently activated, while a shadow government agency tries to stop them from disclosing a secret it has worked 79 years to suppress.

That secret—you guessed it!—is that aliens are real and are coming (en masse?) to Earth. That reindeer and raccoon we saw enter a girl’s room in previous trailers? It looks like the reindeer, at least, is actually a Roswell-looking alien peering into the mind of a young Margaret. Aliens! They’re among us!

But what do the aliens want? And how will humanity react? Spielberg’s commentary and the overall hopeful vibe of the film suggest they’re not to destroy us and/or use us as a food source. We’ll find out more (probably) when the film premieres in theaters on June 12, 2026.

In the meantime, check out the final Disclosure Day trailer below. icon-paragraph-end
