Kirsten Dunst is spotted filming upcoming action epic Civil War

Kirsten Dunst was spotted on the set of Alex Garland’s upcoming action epic Civil War in Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday.

The 39-year-old actress is embarking on her first project since welcoming her second son James Robert last May.   

The Oscar nominee was seen casually attired in a button-down denim shirt with brown pants.

The New Jersey native donned a camel-colored corduroy jacket with dark brown stripes over her denim shirt.

The blonde beauty wore her tresses parted to the side and pulled back in a low ponytail with a few loose strands framing her face.  

The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind star sported olive green and black sneakers and appeared to be wearing minimal makeup.

Dunst pulled a charcoal gray carry-on rolling bag alongside her as she filmed the scene which was set at an airport.

In another scene, she was seen smiling slightly as she held the door of a battered white van.

In January, A24 announced that Dunst had been cast in the film alongside Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson and Cailee Spaeny.

Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation) will write and direct the action film with A24, DNA’s Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich and Gregory Goodman producing.

Civil War is set in present-day America but otherwise plot details are being kept under wraps.

Last month, the actress told Daily Mail’s Baz Bamigboye that the movie was ‘about a civil war that’s basically happening now.’

Dunst received her first Golden Globe Award nomination at the age of 12 after she starred in 1994’s Interview with the Vampire opposite Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt.

The performer was nominated for her role as Rose Gordon in Jane Campion’s western drama Power of the Dog.

Power of the Dog, which debuted on Netflix, received 12 Academy Award nominations including a Best Supporting Actor nod for Dunst’s off-screen partner Jesse Plemons.

Dunst and Plemons began dating in 2016 after they co-starred in FX’s comedy crime series Fargo.

The pair announced their engagement in 2017 and Dunst gave birth to their first child Ennis Howard in May 2018.

In March 2021, the Bring It On actress revealed that she was pregnant with the couple’s second child.  

Last September, Dunst announced that she and Jesse had welcomed James four months prior.
