Anne Hathaway and Zendaya Join Cast of Christopher Nolan’s Next Film

Christopher Nolan‘s next film is getting even more star-studded. Anne Hathaway and Zendaya are set to join the cast of Nolan’s next movie set at Universal, according to multiple media reports.

Tom Holland and Matt Damon are already set to lead the film, which is untitled and has plot details so far kept tightly under wraps. The film is, however, meant to arrive in theaters on July 17, 2026 in IMAX.

Universal had no comment on the casting. Reps for Zendaya and Hathaway did not immediately respond to IndieWire’s request for comment.

This is set to be Nolan’s 13th feature and his second with Universal after he won Best Picture with “Oppenheimer.” The hope is that the film will begin shooting in early 2025. Nolan is writing, directing, and producing, and his partner Emma Thomas is also producing via their Syncopy banner.

Zendaya has been more in demand than almost anyone in Hollywood. This year she had “Dune: Part Two” and “Challengers,” she’s soon set to shoot the third season of “Euphoria,” and she’ll have “Spider-Man 4” again Tom Holland on tap at some point.

Hathaway is a Nolan veteran, starring in “The Dark Knight Rises” and in “Interstellar,” the latter of which also starred Damon. This year she appeared in “The Idea of You” and “Mother’s Instinct.” She’ll soon be seen in David Lowery’s “Mother Mary” and in David Robert Mitchell’s “Flowervale Street,” both of which are in post-production. Soon she’ll reprise her role as Mia in “The Princess Diaries 3” and in potentially a “The Devil Wear’s Prada” sequel.

Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” nearly cracked $1 billion at the box office, and though Warner Bros. tried to woo him back, the risk Universal was willing to take with “Oppenheimer” and the freedom they were willing to give him won his allegiance, though Universal has still not formally confirmed the new project.

Deadline first reported the news.
