Anne Hathaway And Zendaya To Star In Christopher Nolan’s Next Film

EXCLUSIVE: Christopher Nolan isn’t done adding some serious star power to his next film at Universal. Sources tell Deadline that Anne Hathaway and Zendaya are set to star in his next event film. They would join previously announced cast members Matt Damon and Tom Holland.

The film will have an Imax release on July 17, 2026. The date falls in line with a number of Nolan films that have had similar release dates in the past.

Universal had no comment on the latest castings.

Sources note that loglines or descriptions of the film that have been published to date are wrong, and details are being kept under wraps, though the movie is expected to start shooting in early 2025.

Hathaway has herself a busy 2024 that included the thriller Mother’s Instinct, which also starred Jessica Chastain, and the Amazon pic The Idea of You. Next up, she is set to star in Warner Bros’ Flowervale Station.

Zendaya’s year started with Dune: Part Two, which grossed more then $700 million at the worldwide box office. She followed that up with her tennis drama Challengers at Amazon MGM Studios.
