Christopher Nolan is expanding the star-studded ensemble of his latest cinematic venture, welcoming Zendaya and Anne Hathaway into the fold for his next untitled masterpiece. Zendaya, who previously shared the screen with Tom Holland in 'Spider-Man,' will reunite with him once more under Nolan's direction, alongside Matt Damon. Hathaway, on the other hand, returns to Nolan's realm after their collaborative efforts in 'The Dark Knight Rises,' the acclaimed Batman film.
Details concerning the plot remain shrouded in mystery. Nolan, who penned the screenplay, is also helming the project, with Universal Pictures slated to distribute it. The studio has locked in a release date for July 17, 2026, ensuring anticipation builds.
Nolan is producing the film alongside his wife and producing partner, Emma Thomas, under their Syncopy banner. This new endeavor marks Nolan's second collaboration with Universal Pictures, following the immense success of 'Oppenheimer,' which grossed a phenomenal $976 million worldwide. 'Oppenheimer' heralded a fresh partnership between Nolan and Universal, forged after his public departure from Warner Bros. in late 2020. While 'Oppenheimer' was acquired by Universal in an open bidding war, this latest project has reportedly gone straight to the studio.
Zendaya is currently amidst an awards season buzz, campaigning for her roles in 'Dune: Part 2' and 'Challengers.' She is also in the midst of filming 'The Drama,' an A24 feature that stars her opposite Robert Pattinson and Alana Haim. Hathaway, last seen in the popular Amazon series 'The Idea of You,' has a bustling schedule ahead, including David Lowery's 'Mother Mary' and Warner Bros.' 'Flowervale Street,' produced by Bad Robot.
With such a formidable cast and Nolan's directorial prowess, this upcoming film is poised to captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression on the cinematic landscape.
