Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film continues to build an impressive cast, with Zendaya and Anne Hathaway now confirmed to join previously announced stars Matt Damon and Tom Holland. The Universal Pictures project, which is scheduled for a theatrical and IMAX release on July 17, 2026, marks Nolan’s latest foray into filmmaking after the massive success of Oppenheimer.
A Reunion with Anne Hathaway
For Hathaway, this film is another collaboration with Nolan, having previously worked together on Interstellar (2014) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Hathaway reflected on how Nolan’s support revitalized her career during a critical time:
“I had an angel in Christopher Nolan, who did not care about the backlash I faced after my Oscar win for Les Misérables. He gave me one of the most beautiful roles I’ve had in one of the best films I’ve been a part of. My career did not lose momentum the way it could have if he hadn’t backed me.”
Hathaway is keeping busy with several high-profile projects, including Paper Tiger with Adam Driver and Jeremy Strong, Flowervale Street with David Robert Mitchell, Mother Mary alongside Michaela Coel, and the highly anticipated Princess Diaries 3.
Zendaya, fresh off her roles in Dune: Part Two and Challengers, continues her ascent as one of Hollywood’s brightest stars. She is also set to reprise her role as MJ in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s fourth Spider-Man installment, reuniting her on-screen chemistry with Holland. With her addition to Nolan’s film, Zendaya continues to expand her repertoire of critically acclaimed and blockbuster projects.
Matt Damon, another longtime collaborator with Nolan, joins the cast after his recent work on Oppenheimer. Tom Holland, who has been balancing his roles in Marvel’s Spider-Man films and other diverse projects, rounds out the already stacked ensemble.
What to Expect
While plot details for Nolan’s new film remain tightly under wraps, the cast suggests an ambitious and multifaceted narrative in line with his previous work. With a release date set for July 17, 2026, anticipation is already building for what promises to be another visually stunning and narratively complex addition to Nolan’s filmography.
