Ídolos is a new film set in the MotoGP World Championship that will arrive in Spanish cinemas on January 23, 2026. Starring Óscar Casas and Ana Mena, the film is directed by Mat Whitecross and was shot on real circuits during the world championship, multiplying the adrenaline of its scenes and the presence of elite motorcycling.
In the story, Casas brings to life Edu, a young pilot who agrees to train alongside his father, with whom he has a complex relationship, to pursue his dream of competing at the highest level. In turn, the character of Luna—played by Ana Mena— will make him reconsider whether it is possible to balance the demands of competition with his personal life.
In interviews, the protagonists have highlighted that Ídolos has been conceived as an intense cinematic experience: “It’s a film that is truly made to be experienced in the cinema,” states Casas, emphasizing the production’s technical level. Ana Mena agrees, noting that the film “has all the ingredients” to connect with audiences beyond motorcycle racing fans. The director, for his part, has stressed the importance of protecting the in-theater cinema experience versus watching content at home, arguing that Ídolos is designed as a spectacle that is best enjoyed on the big screen.
In addition to the sporting action, the film explores themes such as human relationships, ambition, and personal growth in the context of an extreme sport. The scenes have been filmed at various international circuits—such as Misano, Motegi, or Austin—as well as in Spanish locations like Barcelona, Jerez, and Motorland Aragón, which adds a real and visually striking context to the narrative.
Ana Mena has also taken advantage of this project to combine her musical and cinematic facets, composing two songs for the soundtrack that aim to complement the emotion of the story without distracting from the narrative rhythm.
Beyond the fiction, the film brings the two performers together on screen at a particularly significant moment, as they both continue to maintain their romantic relationship in real life, a circumstance that sparks added public interest.
