Emma Mackey will no longer be part of Nancy Meyers' next film due to a scheduling conflict, impacting the Warner Bros. comedy set for a Christmas 2027 release.

Project Details

The project's current ensemble cast includes Penélope Cruz, Kieran Culkin, Jude Law, and Owen Wilson. Details regarding Mackey's specific role had not been disclosed. This film marks Meyers' first feature since 2015's "The Intern."
