The 22-year-old daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has landed her first major feature film role, joining the ensemble cast of Nancy Meyers’ upcoming comedy in what marks a significant career move for the celebrity offspring.

Apple Martin cast in Nancy Meyers’ new movie
According to People and Entertainment Weekly, Apple Martin will make her feature-film acting debut in Meyers’ still-untitled Warner Bros. comedy, a starry ensemble project that also includes Penélope Cruz, Jude Law, Owen Wilson, Kieran Culkin, Tony Hale, Beverly D’Angelo and Erin Doherty. The film is slated for release on Christmas Day 2027 and marks Meyers’ first feature as director since 2015’s The Intern. (People.com)
The project has reportedly been described by Meyers as a semi-autobiographical comedy centered on “a group of people making a film,” with plot specifics and character details still largely under wraps. E! News and Entertainment Weekly both noted that the film was previously known under the working title Paris Paramount. (EW.com)
Apple Martin appears to be following in Gwyneth Paltrow’s footsteps
Martin, who recently graduated from Vanderbilt University, has previously spoken about her interest in acting despite initially considering a different path.
People reported that Apple earned a degree in Law, History and Society and had previously considered law school before shifting her focus toward the arts. In earlier interviews cited by multiple outlets, she has said she was drawn to acting and dancing, even after initially trying to avoid comparisons to her famous parents. (People.com)
Though this marks her first major film role, Martin has already begun building a public profile through modeling work, including campaigns for Chloé and appearances in fashion media, with Page Six recently describing her as a rising fashion-world presence. (Page Six)
Apple Martin reacts to casting news
Page Six reported that Martin celebrated the casting news on Instagram Stories, writing: “Dreams come true!!!” while thanking Meyers for “taking a chance” on her. (Page Six)
The casting is likely to reignite conversation around celebrity children entering Hollywood, especially given Martin’s famously high-profile parentage. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have historically kept their children relatively private, though Apple has stepped further into public life in recent years through fashion campaigns, media appearances and now acting.
