Kevin Costner honored the history of America and had hope for the long run in a patriotic post celebrating July 4.
Costner, 68, carried an American flag in an Instagram snap from a scene in his award-winning, directorial debut, “Dances With Wolves.”
“Completely satisfied Fourth, friends,” he wrote.
“I’ve spent my profession diving into the history of America—each the ugly and the attractive parts of it.”
He added, “Today, I have fun the HOPE that drove our ancestors. May it proceed to push us towards a more perfect Union, together.”
Costner starred as Union Army Lieutenant John Dunbar who meets a gaggle of Lakota while on a quest through the American frontier to a military post.
Not only did Kevin direct the film (his first), but he also produced the film which is widely credited as being a pivotal influence in reviving the Western genre for the movie industry.
The three-hour-long movie was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won seven trophies, including two for Costner with best picture and best director.
In 2007, “Dances with Wolves” was preserved by the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being “culturally and historically” significant.
Heading back out to the wild, wild west, Costner is working on “Horizon: An American Saga.”
Sitting within the director’s chair for the primary time since 2003, Costner will chronicle a “15-year span of pre-and post-Civil War expansion and settlement of the American west,” in accordance with IMDb.
The tip of Kevin Costner’s 18-year marriage to estranged wife Christine Baumgartner marks an unpredictable turn within the Academy Award winner’s public resurgence after finding on-screen success yet again with “Yellowstone.”
In documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Baumgartner first filed for divorce from the “Field of Dreams” actor on May 1, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
The date of separation was listed as April 11, 2023.
Costner and Baumgartner each filed for joint custody of their three children: Cayden, 15, Hayes, 14 and Grace, 12.
A hearing is about for July 5 within the civil case.
