Anne Hathaway and Zendaya are set to star in Christopher Nolan’s long-awaited next film.

According to Deadlinethe two actors will join the previously announced cast of Matt Damon and Tom Holland. Details of the project have been kept under wraps, but sources say The Hollywood Reporter that it will not be set today.

Nolan’s follow-up to Oppenheimer has been dated for a July 17, 2026, Imax release. The film is expected to be shot in 2025.

It will mark an on-screen reunion for off-screen partners Zendaya and Holland. The pair are also expected to reprise their roles in the fourth Spider-Man film, which is currently dated for a week after Nolan’s film.

“All I can say is I’m incredibly excited,” Holland said about being part of Nolan’s next project. “And honoured, of course, but that’s all I can say because, to be honest, that’s all I know.” He said that receiving the phone call “reminded me of getting the call about Spider-Man 10 years ago”.

Hathaway previously worked with Nolan on both Interstellar and The Dark Knight Rises. “A lot of people wouldn’t give me roles because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online,” Hathaway said in a recent Vanity Fair interview. “I had an angel in Christopher Nolan, who didn’t care and gave me one of the most beautiful roles I’ve had in one of the best movies (Interstellar) that I’ve been a part of.”

Hathaway was recently seen in the romantic comedy The Idea of ​​You and the period thriller Mothers’ Instinct. She next appears alongside Michaela Coel in the pop star drama Mother Mary and next summer’s sci-fi thriller Flowervale Street with Ewan McGregor.

Zendaya was recently seen in Luca Guadagnino’s hit tennis drama Challengers and the fantasy sequel Dune: Part Two. She is currently filming The Drama with Robert Pattinson for Dream Scenario director Kristoffer Borgli.

Nolan comes off the commercial and critical hit Oppenheimer, the historical biopic that became a summer 2023 blockbuster with $976 million worldwide and later won the Oscar for Best Picture.

When asked about replicating such success for his next project, Nolan said: “I think you can’t worry too much about the relationship between one film and the next. I get bored very quickly, I like to keep working. It is exciting to think about what will happen.”
