Tom Holland Circling Lead Role In Christopher Nolan’s Next Event Film At Universal

After officially setting his next film at Universal and tapping Matt Damon to star, Christopher Nolan has his sights set on another A-lister to fill out this ensemble as sources tell Deadline Tom Holland is in talks to co-star in the director’s next project. 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.

As with any Nolan project, plot details are being kept as secret as anything in this town, though sources say the film is expected to shoot in early 2025.

As with any of his upcoming films, top tier talent is always running at the opportunity to join a Nolan film and it sounds like Holland has been high on the director’s list to star in the film for some time. While this will mark the third time Damon and Nolan have worked together, it will mark the first time Holland will work with the Oscar-winning director.

Holland is coming off his critically performance in the London stage production of Romeo & Juliet, which ran this summer for 12 weeks at the Duke of York’s Theatre. He is coming off the massive box-office success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, with a follow-up pic in development with Holland expected to reprise his role as Peter Parker.
