He caught your eye with his leading role in Outlander, but Sam Heughan is more than just a man who looks good in a kilt. Though he does look damn good in a kilt and even has a show called Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham where he and fellow Outlander cast member, Graham McTavish, traverse the Scottish countryside.

Enough about kilts. Let’s take a look at his upcoming projects.

 

To Olivia

This upcoming drama will follow the tumultuous relationship between writer Roald Dahl (Hugh Bonneville) and actor Patricia Neal (Keeley Hawes). Heughan portrays the famous actor, and co-worker to Neal, Paul Newman. 

This dramatization of a real relationship was directed by John Hay, from a script he wrote with David Logan, based on Stephen Michael Shearer’s novel. The movie is expected to be released sometime later this year.

 

SAS: Red Notice

Heughan stars in this upcoming action film based on Andy McNab’s book of the same name. The movie follows a group of mercenaries led by criminal Grace Lewis (Ruby Rose) who have been wreaking havoc across Europe. When Grace and her accomplices try to blow up the Channel Tunnel, Heughan’s Tom Buckingham springs into action to stop her.

This British film was released on March 16, 2021, and is available on VOD across most major platforms.

 

Text for You

This upcoming romantic comedy follows a woman who decides to send romantic text messages to her dead fiancé’s phone. However, his number has already been reassigned and she finds herself receiving messages from the man who now has the number. As they continue to text back and forth, she starts to develop a connection with this new man.

In addition to Heughan, the movie stars Priyanka Chopra, Celia Imrie, Russell Tovey, and Céline Dion. This film is still in post-production, so no release date has yet been set.
