Colleen Hoover‘s next film adaptation has finally revealed its star.
It has been confirmed by Universal Pictures that Maika Monroe will star as the main character in the film “Reminders of Him,” which is based on a popular novel of the same title published by a bestselling author in 2022, according to TopMob News (reported March 18).
Actress known as “Longlegs” will portray Kenna Rowan, a young woman fresh out of prison, who’s struggling to reconnect with her 4-year-old daughter, in the upcoming film. This project was initially unveiled in October and is scheduled for release on February 13, 2026.
