In 2016, Cotillard played Gabrielle, a free-spirited woman in a convenience marriage, in Nicole Garcia's From the Land of the Moon (Mal de Pierres), an adaptation of the bestselling Italian novel Mal di Pietre by Milena Agus, which marked her return to French cinema after 2012's Rust and Bone, and earned her a seventh César Award nomination.
She also obtained the part of Catherine, the sister-in-law of a 34-year-old gay playwright, in Xavier Dolan's It's Only the End of the World (Juste la fin du Monde).
Both films premiered in the main competition section of the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, to polarized reactions from critics.

Cotillard starred opposite Brad Pitt in Allied (2016), a spy film set in World War II directed by Robert Zemeckis, in which she played Marianne Beausejour, a French Resistance fighter.
While critical reviews were mixed, Stephanie Zacharek of Time magazine felt that "Pitt and Cotillard give sturdy, coded performances that feel naturalistic, not phony: They understand clearly that their chief mission is to tap the tradition of melodrama, and they take it seriously.
Somehow, almost incomprehensibly, it all works.
Allied looks old but smells new, and the scent is heady."
The film grossed US$120 million worldwide.
Cotillard reteamed with Macbeth director Justin Kurzel and co-star Michael Fassbender in the film adaptation of the video game Assassin's Creed (also 2016).

On 30 January 2017, Cotillard was honoured with a special award for her career at the 22nd Lumières Awards in France.
In 2017, she also starred in Guillaume Canet's satire comedy Rock'n Roll, and Arnaud Desplechin's drama Ismael's Ghosts (Les Fantomes d'Ismaël), alongside Mathieu Amalric, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Louis Garrel.
The Hollywood Reporter, in its review for the former film, asserted that "Cotillard offers up such a sincere performance that you can't help but laugh".

In the 2018 drama Angel Face (Gueule d'ange) by director Vanessa Fialho, she portrayed Marlene, a woman who suddenly chooses to abandon her daughter for a man she has just met during yet another night of excess.
The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival.
In 2019, Cotillard reprised the role of Marie in Little White Lies 2, sequel to 2010's Little White Lies directed by Guillaume Canet.

In 2020, Cotillard voiced Tutu, the fox in the comedy film Dolittle by Stephen Gaghan, and will also star as Ann DelGreco in the musical film Annette directed by Leos Carax.
