Fanning and Wenner recently attended the 2026 Golden Globes, an appearance that marked two years since they first went public. In interviews, Fanning has described Wenner as “the best” and shared that she feels a “bright” outlook on their future together. Fans have been thrilled to see the balance she maintains between a thriving career and a fulfilling personal life.

Professionally, Fanning has been having one of her strongest years. She starred in Predator: Badlands, released in November 2025, where she played the tough and gritty Thia. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg and co-starring Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, the film showcased her ability to lead an action-packed franchise while still bringing depth to her character. Sources from entertainment media say the movie was a major success and proved Fanning’s versatility beyond her more whimsical or period roles.

She is also receiving critical praise for her role in Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value. The film, which premiered at the Palm Springs Film Festival in early 2026, co-stars Renate Reinsve and Stellan Skarsgård. Fanning won the International Star Award at the festival, and she noted in interviews that audiences have had a “universal” and emotional response to her portrayal of a woman reconnecting with her estranged father.

Looking ahead, Fanning is set to join the blockbuster franchise The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, where she will play a younger Effie Trinket. She has called the role a dream come true, saying she has been an “O.G. fan” of the original films.

Another highly anticipated project is The Nightingale, where she will finally star alongside her sister, Dakota Fanning. The WWII drama, based on Kristin Hannah’s bestselling novel, is slated for a February 2027 release under the sisters’ production company, Lewellen Pictures. Between her red carpet appearances, blockbuster films, and upcoming voice roles, Elle Fanning continues to define what it means to be a modern, multifaceted star.
