SPIDER-MAN Stars Zendaya And Tom Holland To Reunite For Christopher Nolan's Next Movie

Christopher Nolan has assembled an A-list supporting cast for his next film, with Zendaya set to join her Spider-Man: No Way Home co-star Tom Holland in the untitled project...

Following the explosive success of his recent biopic, Oppenheimer, we recently learned that The Dark Knight trilogy director Christopher Nolan will stay at Universal for his next project, which has set a July 17, 2026 release date.

Matt Damon - who previously worked with Nolan on Oppenheimer and Interstellar - is set to pay the co-lead role alongside Tom Holland, and the mysterious movie has now added another pair of A-listers.

Deadline reports that Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar) and Zendaya (Spider-Man: No Way Home, Dune: Part Two) have joined the cast in undisclosed roles (the trade initially claimed that Lupita Nyong'o had also signed on, but later amended the report).

Understandably, Zendaya's involvement is getting the most attention, since she'll be reuniting with her Spidey co-star and real-life boyfriend.

Plot details are still under wraps, but there are rumors that the movie will be a futuristic action thriller inspired by '80s helicopter flick, Blue Thunder.

With a few notable exceptions (Oppenheimer, Memento, Dunkirk), Nolan does tend to favor sci-fi based fare, but he did recently express interest in putting his stamp on the horror genre during a conversation with the British Film Institute (via THR).

“I think horror films are very interesting because they depend on very cinematic devices,” he said. “It’s really about [provoking] a visceral response to things. So at some point, I’d love to make a horror film. But I think a really good horror film requires a really exceptional idea — and those are few and far between. So I haven’t found the story that lends itself to that. But I think it’s a very interesting genre from a cinematic point of view. It’s also one of the few genres where — the studios make a lot of these films — and they’re films that have a lot of bleakness, a lot of abstraction. They have a lot qualities that Hollywood is generally very resistant to putting into films, but that’s a genre where it’s allowable.”

Nolan's films do tend to be quite dark, and he has incorporated horror elements in a few of his previous movies, including Batman Begins, The Prestige, and even Oppenheimer.

“Certainly Oppenheimer has elements of horror — which I definitely think is appropriate for the subject matter,” he added. "The middle of the film is very heavily based on the heist genre, and the third act of the film is the courtroom drama. And the reason I settled on those two genres for those sections is they are mainstream genres in which dialogue and people talking is inherently tense and interesting to an audience. That’s the fun thing with genre — you get to play with a lot of different areas whereas in different type of film you really wouldn’t be allowed to.”

There had been a lot of speculation about where Nolan's next feature would end up after the filmmaker expressed an openness to doing business with Warner Bros. again after his public falling out with the studio back in 2021. Nolan took issue with WB's decision to shift its entire 2021 film slate to HBO Max.

"Some of our industry’s biggest filmmakers and most important movie stars went to bed the night before thinking they were working for the greatest movie studio and woke up to find out they were working for the worst streaming service," the director said in a statement at the time.

Love Nolan. and maybe it was the case in 2021, but Max is arguably the highest quality streaming service. And HBO really always was top dog. But I get it...

It's a good cast. But IDK, Tom Holland signing in first and then like 2 weeks later Zendaya also joins in is way too much of a coincidence IMO.

Curious to know what the story will be about this time.

A day when you're so drunk you don't think about Hathaway in that black leather Catwoman costume is a sad day indeed.

@Malatrova15 - wait, Zendaya has the body type of a14 year old boy. Maybe that’s why Hollywood loves her? Lol

Are any of them actually A listers? I don't know anything other than their genre work and CBM fare - not exactly A List material most of the time.

If Nolan is directing I’m sure it’ll be incredible. Don’t need to hear anymore about it.

I don’t see Nolan making a fun or enjoyable horror film. Well, not a horror film I would fully enjoy. I enjoy most of his films but he can be a little too cerebral and long winded at times. After “Dunkirk” his films got a little too complex for my taste. The closest and coolest hope would be that his films would be intelligent and disturbing like Hereditary. It may also be cool if he did something in the vein of Twilite Zone.

Christopher Nolan is probably one of the only Pretentious Directors whose super humble and loves all forms of art and cinema and is willing to work in each genre as long as the script and cast are up to his standards. I would love to see him tackle a horror movie one day.

Rewatched Oppenheimer last week and it very well might be my favourite movie of the 2010’s. Nolan at the absolute height of his powers. Excited to see what he gets out of holland, zendaya, damon and - perhaps most importantly - anne hathaway

Feel like anne hathaway’s always been hot, but idk what is is but she’s only getting finer with age

I wonder if it’s actually Inspired by Blue Thunder or is it really a remake of it.
Love me some Blue Thunder. The old tv show was fun too. It had Buba Smith in it 👍

@Natebest that's annoying, I always protect your site. Check every post and it's all politics. I love you and wish you best.

@Kadara - Interstingly enough, i see zero political comments on this thread... Which is fairly rare since earlier in the week.

That being said. I've been working overtime deleting off-topic comments and warning users. It would go a long ways if you can do me a favor and report a comment if you see it. I'm solo on the weekends and that's the quickest way to make sure I see them.

Lads, don't you find this kinda...distracting? Especially for people like us?

I dunno, i kinda do, i was fine with Holland but usually i watch these 2 together only in one type of movies... :P

I hope that Christopher Nolan takes up Dune. When Villenueve completes the Trilogy then Nolan should take up the next trilogy that is based on completely new and original stories in the Dune Universe.
