Christopher Nolan is busy plotting his next film, and its cast will be as star-studded as it gets. Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o is the latest star to join its A-list ensemble, which includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Anne Hathaway.
Like all of Nolan’s past projects, this one is shrouded in secrecy and plot details are being kept under wraps. Expectations are running high in the wake of the success of Oppenheimer, but Universal Pictures is staying hush and they’ve only revealed this project will hit the theaters on July 17, 2026.
When Nolan’s new film was first announced, Matt Damon was the only star attached to it, reuniting with the acclaimed director after working together on Oppenheimer. He was followed by the Spider-Man star Tom Holland, while Emmy winner Zendaya and Oscar winner Anne Hathaway hopped on board last week.
Lupita Nyong’o, the Oscar-winning star of 12 Years a Slave and the Black Panther franchise, is the latest big name added to the cast. 2024 has been a pretty eventful year for the acclaimed actress, who led A Quiet Place: Day One and voiced the acclaimed animated film The Wild Robot. Her notable credits also include Queen of Katwe, Us, and voice roles in The Jungle Book and the Star Wars sequel trilogy.
