Academy Award-winning director Christopher Nolan has stoked fans’ curiosities like nothing else. The studded cast list of his upcoming film is expanding every passing day. After Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathway, Lupita Nyong’o, and Matt Damon, Robert Pattinson joins the film. This will mark Pattinson and Nolan’s second collaboration following ‘Tenet.’ Meanwhile, apart from the cast, no other details about the project are available. The slated film is shrouded in a cloud of dense mystery, piquing fans’ curiosities.
As per Hollywood Reporter, “Nolan wrote the script and is directing the project, which Universal Pictures will distribute. The studio has set a release date of July 17, 2026.” Busting fan theories, the outlet reported that insiders have assured that no theory has hit the nail on the head. “Various theoretical, even divergent, details been posited regarding the project – period vampire thriller, a helicopter action thriller – but insiders maintain that nothing has come close to nailing Nolan’s real idea.” Apart from writing and directing, Nolan is also producing alongside partner and wife Emma Thomas for their Syncopy banner.
Nolan and Pattinson’s last collaboration was the time-defying thriller ‘Tenet.’ In the title, Pattinson starred alongside John David Washington. The title marked the filmmaker’s final film at Warner Bros. This concluded their long and successful association for hits such as ‘The Dark Knight’ trilogy, ‘Dunkirk’ and ‘Interstellar.’ Meanwhile, the untitled film marks Christopher Nolan’s continued collaboration with Universal following ‘Oppenheimer.’ The collaboration came after Nolan parted ways with Warner Brothers.
