It’s hard to overstate how much buzz Christopher Nolan’s next film is already getting and it’s well-deserved given the unstoppable cast he’s pulled together. The more recent additions, Zendaya and Anne Hathaway, have only added to the excitement for this project. Here’s what we know so far:
Cast Details
1. Zendaya: Zendaya ruled Hollywood with her appearance in Challengers and Dune: Part Two, both of which she just wrapped up. It’s her first film with Nolan, and we are very curious about seeing the actress respond to the director’s extraordinary storytelling style.

2. Anne Hathaway: Hathaway reunites with Nolan after their collaborations on Interstellar and The Dark Knight Rises. Hathaway has been publicly grateful for Nolan’s support of her career at a time she needed it most, following the backlash over the film Les Miserables. This will be yet another big title on Hathaway’s slate, which also includes projects like Paper, Flowervale Street, and Princess Diaries 3.
3. Tom Holland: Speculation surrounding who will be cast alongside Zendaya has fans buzzing. They have always had matching chemistry and have previously appeared on screen this way in the Spider-Man series. Their cinematic relationship in a Nolan movie is bound to deliver on sparks, as the duo are beloved all over Hollywood both on-screen and off.
4. Matt Damon: A Nolan regular since working with him on *Interstellar*, and just recently in *Oppenheimer*, Damon is a go-to for the director. His varied experience will serve the film well.
