– Luke Grimes, Costner’s co-star in Yellowstone, understands Costner’s decision to leave and focus more on his passion project, Horizon: An American Saga.
– Despite the ongoing issues with the show’s creators, Costner has expressed a desire to return to Yellowstone to complete the remaining episodes.
– Meanwhile, Costner is busy working on Horizon: An American Saga, which has two films ready for release while Costner devotes his time to completing the other two films in the series.
The Exit of Kevin Costner
When the first half of the fifth season concluded, reports of Costner’s conflict with Sheridan started to surface. These rumors hinted at disagreements over the show’s direction and remuneration. Amidst this turmoil, Costner was also busy shooting his passion project, Horizon: An American Saga, aggravating his schedule challenges.
Luke Grimes, who played John Dutton’s son Kayce Dutton alongside Costner, recently shared his insights on the matter. Grimes told The Independent that he was aware of Costner’s trepidation as he was split between Yellowstone and his passion project, which he had been pursuing for a long time.
The Potential Return of Costner
Even with his departure making headlines and causing turmoil for Yellowstone, Costner has recently signaled his interest in returning to the series to complete the remaining episodes. However, it remains unclear whether the dispute between him and the show’s creators has been resolved.
In addition to navigating these difficulties, Costner is also diligently working on Horizon: An American Saga. The first two films of the series are scheduled for release while the fifth season of Yellowstone awaits the start of its second half.
Costner’s Upcoming Project: Horizon, An American Saga
Costner is more than excited for Horizon: An American Saga, his passion project. While he has finished shooting two movies in the four-movie plan, he is rigorously working on the other projects. The actor revealed at CinemaCon 2024 that Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth approached him with interest in starring in his upcoming romance film. However, Costner humorously conveyed that Hemsworth would have to await his return as he is poised to play the lead role himself.
Fans of Kevin Costner can anticipate a familiar essence of the classic Western aura in his upcoming project, reminiscent of Dancing with Wolves, a hit film Costner directed years ago. The first and second movies of Horizon: An American Saga are set to hit theaters on June 28, 2024, and August 16, 2024, respectively.
With Costner’s future on Yellowstone still surrounded by uncertainty and his upcoming passion project on the horizon, fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming years. Meanwhile, Yellowstone remains available for streaming on Paramount+.
