Zendaya and Anne Hathaway Joining Christopher Nolan’s Next Universal Film

Zendaya and Anne Hathaway are joining Christopher Nolan’s next movie at Universal, with Tom Holland and Matt Damon already confirmed in the cast.

Nolan is writing and directing the movie, which will hit theaters and Imax on July 17, 2026. Details about the story are still under wraps, and Universal had no comment on the casting.

This film marks a reunion for Hathaway and Nolan, who worked together on the 2014 space film Interstellar and 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises. Earlier this year, Hathaway shared how grateful she was for Nolan casting her in Interstellar during a time when she faced online backlash after her Oscar win for Les Misérables.

“Many people wouldn’t hire me because of how toxic my image was online,” Hathaway told Vanity Fair. “But Christopher Nolan didn’t care and gave me one of the best roles I’ve had … My career stayed on track thanks to him.”

Zendaya recently starred in two major hits, Challengers and Dune: Part Two, and will soon appear alongside Robert Pattinson in The Drama. She and Tom Holland, her real-life boyfriend, have previously worked together in the Spider-Man movies. Holland will return as Peter Parker in the next Spider-Man film, though it’s unclear if Zendaya’s MJ will be back.

Zendaya is represented by CAA, Monster Talent Management, and Granderson Rochers, while Hathaway is represented by CAA, Entertainment 360, and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.
