Colman Domingo on Spielberg’s Hope for Humanity in Disclosure Day
Colman Domingo has spent decades turning out award-winning work as an actor, playwright, and director, but 2026 feels different. Between Michael, Euphoria, The Four Seasons, and an unforgettable debut hosting SNL, the two-time Oscar nominee has been busy delivering scene-stealing performances in some of the year’s most talked about projects. Now he’s continuing that streak with Disclosure Day, Steven Spielberg’s highly anticipated return to sci-fi: a sweeping alien thriller that Colman describes as one of the most hopeful films of the modern era.
In this episode, Colman joins Jacqueline Coley to discuss how Disclosure Day balances blockbuster set pieces with an underlying humanism that examines our relationship to the unknown. He describes working with Spielberg, the youthful joy and playfulness the legendary filmmaker still brings to set, and why the script’s unwavering faith in humanity moved him to tears the first time he read it. Colman also reveals his approach to fashion on his press tours, praises co-star Emily Blunt’s “performance for the ages” in Disclosure Day, and shares his gratitude for collaborative relationships—like his and Spielberg’s—that come to feel like family.
