Medjay Rising: Chapter One — The Roman's Daughter is a 2026 American epic action adventure film written, co-produced, and directed by Colin Trevorrow. Produced by Legendary Pictures and The Stone Quarry and distributed by Lionsgate Films, it is the first installment in the titular trilogy. The film stars Dove Cameron in the title role alongside Keanu Reeves, Piper Rubio, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Mads Mikkelsen, Chris Hemsworth, Ian McShane, Pedro Pascal, Karl Urban, and Robert Downey Jr. It follows Zephyra, the Egyptian daughter of a Roman family, as she trains to become a Medjay to rescue her captured father while also protecting her young daughter after violent Roman soldiers threaten her. The Roman's Daughter was released in theaters on February 18th, 2026; it received positive reviews from critics and acclaim from audiences. It was praised for its stylistic cinematography, direction, visuals, action sequences, score, and acting (particularly Cameron, Reeves, and Fishburne), but criticized for its long runtime of 170 minutes and the overly dark and realistic tone, while its violent content drew opinions. It was also a box-office success, grossing $810 million against a budget of $261 million and a break-even point of $120 million. A sequel entitled Medjay Rising: Chapter Two — Sands of Vengeance was released the following year.
