Cortés (Film)

Cortés is a historical epic about Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés and his 1519 expedition to the Aztec Empire, told largely through the perspective of Marina, an Indigenous woman who becomes his translator and ally. Alex Proyas has taken over as director from Paul Mignot, while the production combines live-action performances with AI-generated environments to bring the 16th-century world to life. The film explores ambition, conquest, betrayal and the complexities of colonial history, with a reported release planned for 2027.
