Previously, we reported that Christopher Nolan has set his next film at Universal Studios, with Matt Damon selected to lead the cast. Now, reports suggest that Tom Holland is currently in negotiations to join the project, details about which are scarce.
The yet-to-be-titled film is scheduled for Imax release on July 17, 2026. Universal Studios is yet to provide confirmation about Holland's casting. Plot details are scarce, but speculations are that the film is scheduled to go on floors in early 2025. Nolan will not only direct but also write the screenplay, with his wife Emma Thomas producing under their Syncopy banner.
This upcoming film will mark Damon's third collaboration with Nolan after Interstellar (2014) and Oppenheimer. The film will mark Nolan's 13th as a director. It marks Holland's first collaboration with Nolan. Holland is expected to juggle between shooting for Spider-Man 4 and this film, while some reports also suggest that he will be a part of Avengers: Doomsday, potentially reuniting with Robert Downey Jr.
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.
