Following their successful collaboration on Tenet, Christopher Nolan and Robert Pattinson are reteaming for the filmmaker's upcoming feature at Universal Pictures.

Pattinson joins the previously announced star-studded cast members Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway and Zendaya. Details regarding the roles of the cast members are currently under wraps. The yet-to-be-titled film is scheduled for Imax release on July 17, 2026.

Plot details are scarce, but speculations are that the film is scheduled to go on floors in early 2025. Nolan will direct and write the screenplay, with his wife Emma Thomas producing under their Syncopy banner. 

The upcoming film will mark Holland and Nyong'o's first collaboration with Nolan and Damon's third collaboration after Interstellar (2014) and Oppenheimer. The film will mark Nolan's 13th as a director.

Universal also backed Nolan's Oppenheimer, which went on to win several Academy Awards, including Best Actor and Best Director. The director's partnership with the production house began following his highly publicised departure from Warner Bros. in 2020. Unlike Oppenheimer, which Universal acquired through an open auction, Nolan's upcoming project has been secured directly by the studio, according to reports. 

Pattinson starred alongside John David Washington in Tenet, the last movie that Nolan made for Warner Bros. The movie was released during the COVID-19 pandemic. The actor is also set to return to film a sequel to his 2022 blockbuster The Batman where he is set to reprise his role as the DC comics superhero.

Pattinson is also featured in A24's Primetime, a thriller inspired by the reality show To Catch a Predator, marking the debut narrative film of emerging director Lance Oppenheim. Furthermore, Pattinson's upcoming project, Bong Joon-Ho's sci-fi comedy Mickey 17, is scheduled to hit theaters on April 18, 2025.
