Jacob Elordi, Margot Robbie are licking walls in ‘Wuthering Heights’ trailer

Move over, bathtub drains: Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are bringing sensuality to new inanimate objects in the latest trailer for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights. 

The clip, which premiered online Thursday, shows Robbie’s Cathy and Elordi’s Heathcliff both getting physical with a pink tufted wall. At one moment, Cathy can be seen digging her fingertips into its plush surface, only for Heathcliff to slowly lick it the next. 

Adapted from Emily Brontë’s influential Gothic novel of the same name, Wuthering Heights chronicles Cathy and Heathcliff’s doomed romance from their early days spent playing in the wily, windy moors of West Yorkshire to Heathcliff’s dramatic departure from the estate and beyond. 

At one point in the trailer, Cathy and Heathcliff are seen overlooking the water together, musing about their futures. “What should you do, Heathcliff?” she asks. “If you were rich?”

“Suppose I’d do what all rich men do,” he answers, “live in a big house, be cruel to my servants, take a wife.” 

His response, however, causes Cathy’s expression to change. “A wife?” she fires back with a hint of jealousy. “What wife?” 

After Heathcliff is out of the picture, Cathy eventually marries the well-to-do Edgar Linton (Shazad Latif). However, her sweet high-society bubble bursts when her former flame eventually returns to Wuthering Heights and the pair rekindle their obsessive and destructive romance.

“Why did you leave me?” she asks Heathcliff, to which he responds, “Why did you betray your own heart?”

Shots of their sensual love story are interspersed throughout the trailer, from the pair almost holding hands and nearly kissing, all the way to tight embraces and fingers being pushed into Cathy’s mouth. Even seemingly mundane tasks, like kneading dough, become sexual metaphors in their hands.

“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same,” Cathy declares of their all-encompassing relationship. In another scene, a rain-soaked Heathcliff tells her, “Kiss me, and let us both be damned.” 

The trailer also features a new song from Charli XCX, whose song “Everything Is Romantic” was featured in the film’s first teaser trailer. Earlier this week, Charli dropped another song for the film: a haunting collaboration with John Cale titled “House.”

In September, Fennell explained that her goal for adapting Wuthering Heights was to recreate the “primal” and “sexual” experience that she felt when first reading the novel in her teenage years.

“If somebody else made it, I’d be furious,” she said at the time, per the BBC. “It’s very personal material for everyone. It’s very illicit. The way we relate to the characters is very private, I think.”

Wuthering Heights comes to theaters on Valentine’s Day 2026.
