Robert Pattinson has been incorporated into the growing distribution of Christopher Nolan’s next film of which we still do not know the plot but we already know that it will also have Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya and Lupita Nyong’o. It is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 17, 2026.
In pursuit of the dignity of the filmmakers, Nolan did not mind leaving a company with which he had had successes for years. But in your opinion Warner went too far when he decided to release his 2021 films simultaneously in theaters and HBO Max (known today simply as Max). So he went to the competition to develop Oppenheimer, and the result continues to sting Warner’s management to this day.
Oppenheimerfinally distributed by Universal Pictureswon more than 975 million dollars in 2023 and subsequently acquired seven Oscarsincluding Best film and Best direction for Nolan. Since then and as it could not be otherwise, Warner has tried to make peace with the filmmaker, but Nolan seems comfortable with Universal, and has already confirmed that his next film will also be released with them.
We still don’t know its title, but the details are coming and it suggests that it could be a new bombshell.
What’s new from Nolan: synopsis
We do not have a title for this next film yet, and the plot is kept under lock and key. But being a project as relevant as it is, it has already led to multiple speculations. There are those who claim that Nolan is going to develop a horror film with vampires. Others say it will adapt a series that you are passionate about how is The prisonerand also that it could be a sober father-son drama.
The hypothesis that seems most plausible for now is that Nolan wants to pay tribute to one of his favorite films through a science fiction story set in a futuristic New York. We refer to The blue thundera thriller from the eighties starring Roy Scheiderwhich centered on a disturbing helicopter designed for mass surveillance. The nolan movie He could have a similar approach, and it certainly sounds like something he would want to do.
What’s new from Nolan: cast
For now, secrecy is maintained regarding the synopsis and title of the film, but names of the cast have been revealed at a very effective pace. And the film’s cast aims to be as large and spectacular as that of Oppenheimer, starting with Matt Damon repeating with Nolan after the biopic of the father of the atomic bomb. But there is much more.
Everything indicates that the main protagonist of the film is going to be Tom Holland. He is accompanied by another former collaborator of Nolan, such as Anne Hathaway (who was in The Dark Knight: The Legend Rises and Interstellar), in addition to Zendaya.
This latest signing has caused quite a bit of talk because she and Holland have a romantic relationship, and they have also starred as Peter Parker and M.J. the last three movies Spider-Man. Regarding Zendaya’s role, however, there are rumors that it will be quite small: practically a cameo, as opposed to Holland’s presence, which will be much larger.
Another confirmed signing is that of a most Oscar winner Like Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o. This actress, who was elevated by the Hollywood Academy with 12 years of slaveryrecently appeared in A quiet place: Day 1 and has contributed to one of Universal’s biggest hits of the year: the animated wild robotwhere she gives voice to the protagonist.
And the latest to join this constant drip has been Robert Pattinson, who already collaborated with Nolan in one of the best roles of his career: that of Neil in Tenet.
What’s new from Nolan: release date
It’s the first thing Universal wanted to confirm, so Nolan’s next film is going to be released on July 17, 2026destroying all the IMAX theaters possible from the US. The curious thing about this date is that a week later Marvel Studios would release another long-awaited film like Spider-Man 4…which also stars Tom Holland. The summer of 2026 will belong entirely to this young performer.
