LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2026. The director, known for his mind-bending stories and star-studded casts, has now added even more talent to his already impressive lineup. With major stars joining the project, fans are eagerly waiting to see what Nolan has in store this time.

Nolan is producing alongside producing partner and wife Emma Thomas for their Syncopy banner. The new feature reunites Nolan with the studio that made his drama 'Oppenheimer', which earned a staggering $976 million worldwide. 'Oppenheimer' was the first time the filmmaker worked with Universal, a relationship forged after Nolan publicly split with longtime home Warner Bros. in late 2020. While Universal picked up 'Oppenheimer' in an open auction setting, this new project ended up going straight to the studio.

These two talented actresses bring fresh energy and star power to the already impressive cast, adding even more buzz to the project.

Alongside Zendaya and Hathaway, the film will feature Tom Holland and Matt Damon, both of whom are known for their iconic roles in blockbuster films. Holland, best known for his portrayal of Spider-Man, will be reunited with Zendaya, while Damon brings his extensive acting experience to the table. With such a talented and diverse cast, Nolan’s film is set to be an all-star affair.
