The as-yet-untitled film is expected to be released in July 2026, with Matt Damon currently set to star in the lead role alongside Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway and Lupita Nyong’o. Damon portrayed General Leslie Groves in Nolan’s most recent film, Oppenheimer, alongside Cillian Murphy.

Plot details for Nolan’s new project remain under wraps while production is expected to begin in the first half of 2025, according to Variety.

Pattinson last worked with Nolan on the 2020 blockbuster Tenet alongside lead star John David Washington, which was the director’s last film under Warner Bros.

Nolan is returning to Universal for the movie after turning down the chance to return to Warner Bros. despite being offered a seven-figure cheque.

His decision to switch to Universal came after the director criticised Warner Bros. over their plans to release their 2021 film slate simultaneously on streaming service HBO Max.

Pattinson meanwhile will next star in the upcoming Bong Joon-ho-directed sci-fi black comedy film Mickey 17.

The movie was recently delayed by three months, moving from its January 31 release to April 18, 2025.

The first full trailer for Mickey 17 arrived in September, and offered a look at the ‘human prints’ of Robert Pattinson’s Mickey dying during an expedition to explore an ice planet. The film also stars Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, Holliday Grainger and more.

Mickey 17 will mark Joon-ho’s first film effort since 2019’s universally lauded Parasite, which took home Best Picture at the Academy Awards the following year. Parasite also went on to become the highest-grossing Korean film in history.

The film – based on the 2022 novel Mickey7 – was first announced in 2022, with a short teaser being released that same year. The film was due for release this year, but was delayed indefinitely due to last year’s actors’ and writers’ strike before landing it’s now-postponed January 2025 release date.
