Pretty much every actor in Hollywood dreams about being cast in Christopher Nolan’s film, and Lupita Nyong’o will soon make that dream come true. Oscar-winning actress is the latest A-lister to join Nolan’s mystery new project, also starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Anne Hathaway.
Nolan knocked it out of the park with his latest film Oppenheimer, a historical epic that won seven Oscars at this year’s Academy Awards, including best picture and best director. He’ll reunite with Universal Pictures for his next project, which will be released theatrically and on IMAX on July 17, 2026.
Like all of Nolan’s previous films, this one is shrouded in secrecy, but we know a thing or two about its star-studded cast. This project will reunite Nolan with Matt Damon (Oppenheimer) and Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar), and it will also star the Spider-Man duo Tom Holland and Zendaya.
Lupita Nyong’o is the latest A-list star added to this amazing cast. She rose to prominence after winning an Oscar for her breakout role in 12 Years a Slave and went on to star in the Black Panther franchise. Her most recent credits include the apocalyptic horror A Quiet Place: Day One and the animated film The Wild Robot.
