Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are set to potentially cross paths next month at the Venice Film Festival. The former Hollywood power couple, who have been embroiled in a highly publicised and bitter divorce, are both slated to debut their new movies at the event, which kicks off on August 28.
The high-profile split, which began in 2016, has seen Angelina and Brad avoid each other at major events. However, the Venice International Film Festival might force an encounter between them, despite their ongoing legal battles. Recently, their shared children dropped Pitt’s surname, which has reportedly left the actor feeling hurt.
Angelina Jolie, known for her role in Maleficent and her last film Eternals in 2021, will debut her new biopic Maria. The film, directed by Pablo Larraín, is a tribute to the legendary opera singer Maria Callas. Larraín, renowned for his previous biopics Jackie and Spencer, brings his unique touch to this film, which is written by Steven Knight and produced by Fremantle. Maria is in contention for the prestigious Golden Lion award at the 81st Venice International Film Festival.

Brad Pitt, who is currently filming a Formula 1 movie, will attend the festival for his latest film Wolves. Directed by Jon Watts, Wolves is about two fixers hired to clean up a high-stakes crime. The film takes a thrilling turn when one of them is forced to team up with an unexpected partner. The movie boasts an impressive cast, including George Clooney, Austin Abrams, Amy Ryan and Poorna Jagannathan.
Despite their bitter feud, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will likely be under the same roof at the star-studded Venice Film Festival. Their anticipated reunion has generated significant buzz, as fans and the media speculate about how the former couple will navigate this high-profile event.
