Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie's Wuthering Heights is one of the most highly anticipated films of 2026 - but the latest adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic novel has faced a fair share of controversy from the very start. Brontë's 1847 novel follows the Earnshaw and Linton families during late 18th century England. The story focuses on Earnshaw's foster son Heathcliff, who falls in love with foster sister Catherine. While the pair begin an intense love affair, Heathcliff sets out on a path of revenge and destruction after Catherine ultimately chooses to marry someone else.
