Kevin Costner looked ruggedly handsome as he stepped onto the red carpet alongside Morgan Freeman at a screening of their new historical drama, The Gray House, on Thursday January 22, 2026.
Kevin appeared relaxed and confident as the pair celebrated the upcoming eight-episode Civil War series, which they both executive produce.
The project marks their first collaboration in 35 years, following 1991’s Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves – a reunion that prompted a nostalgic walk down memory lane.
“He’s a consummate actor,” Kevin said of Morgan while speaking with ET Online. “We stepped into this Robin Hood mythology, and he was just immediately available as a man, as an actor. We had these sword fights, and we just, we both looked at each other, it was a very good moment for both of us.

Morgan, meanwhile, laughed when asked how much he remembered from their time making the film. “I remember having a good time doing it,” he joked. “That’s about it. It’s 35 years, and I don’t remember much.”

Mary-Louise Parker plays Van Lew’s mother, Eliza, while Amethyst Davis portrays Mary Jane Richards, a formerly enslaved woman who also allegedly worked as a spy.
Kevin explained that the strength of the story was what drew both men to the project. “We’re still storytellers at our core,” he said. “We recognised it as real entertainment first and foremost – wrapped in a true story.”
