Forget 'Dune: Part 3,' Rebecca Ferguson's Sci-Fi Gem Hits Free Streaming This May Rebecca Ferguson’s 2026 is proving to be a banner year for her fans, as the actress returns to the spotlight with a slate of four major projects. After a period of sporadic appearances in smaller roles, Ferguson is now fully immersed in a variety of high-profile productions. Her latest work includes the dystopian thriller Mercy, co-created by Timur Bekmambetov and Amazon MGM, where she stars alongside Chris Pratt. She also recently joined the cast of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, a gangster-themed series directed by Tom Harper and Steven Knight. However, the most anticipated of her upcoming projects is the third installment of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune franchise, where she will reprise her role as Lady Jessica. While her screen time in the film is expected to be limited compared to her previous roles, fans are eager to see her return to the franchise. Beyond her work in Dune, Ferguson is also set to release The Magic Faraway Tree, a fantasy film she starred in, which premiered in the UK and is set for a U.S. release later this year. Her filmography continues to showcase her versatility, with standout performances in Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep and Tate Taylor’s The Girl on the Train. These projects highlight her ability to adapt to diverse genres and characters, solidifying her reputation as a versatile actress. One of the most exciting developments for Ferguson fans is the free streaming of her 2017 horror sci-fi film Life starting May 1. The movie, which serves as a precursor to her Apple TV+ series Silo, will be available on Tubi, a popular free streaming platform. This move is seen as a way for fans to revisit her work before the release of Silo, which is expected to be a major production.#tom_harper #chris_pratt #amazon_mgm #rebecca_ferguson #timur_bekmambetov
Amazon MGM Studios' 'Mercy' Set for Disc Release April 7 Amazon MGM Studios and Alliance Home Entertainment have announced the release of the sci-fi thriller Mercy on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD disc on April 7. The film follows Detective Chris Raven, portrayed by Chris Pratt, who faces a murder trial before an advanced A.I. Judge played by Rebecca Ferguson. With only 90 minutes to prove his innocence and avoid execution, Raven must confront both the judge and a pervasive surveillance state that has documented every aspect of his life. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, Mercy is set in a near-future world dominated by interconnected screens and invasive cameras. The story explores Raven’s struggle against a system that has already recorded his actions, blurring the lines between justice and control. The film grossed $54.3 million globally, reflecting its appeal despite its niche genre. The release of Mercy coincides with broader developments at Amazon MGM Studios, including the completion of its $8.5 billion merger with MGM Studios, finalized after the Federal Trade Commission’s deadline to block the deal passed. This merger grants Amazon significant creative and operational control over MGM’s film library, including the iconic James Bond franchise. Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios, has been granted oversight of MGM Studios, marking a pivotal shift in the combined entity’s strategy. The partnership with IP co-owners Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, worth a reported $1 billion, further solidifies Amazon’s stake in the Bond franchise. These moves underscore the growing influence of Amazon in the entertainment industry, reshaping how films are produced, distributed, and marketed.#chris_pratt #rebecca_ferguson #amazon_mgm_studios #alliance_home_entertainment #timur_bekmambetov
