Christopher Nolan's next film will reportedly be released on July 17, 2026.
According to Deadline, Universal Pictures is distributing the film and Matt Damon is in talks to star in it. Filming is said to begin in early 2025.
It seems Nolan is looking to re-bottle the same lightning bolt he caught with the hit biographical thriller Oppenheimer, which was also a Universal film that featured Matt Damon in a prominent role. The cast also included Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, Benny Safdie, Josh Hartnett and Gary Oldman. Oppenheimer won the Nolan Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture.
If Damon is cast, this will be the actor's third time working with Nolan after Interstellar and Oppenheimer.
As with any project at such an early stage of development, plot details are being kept under wraps. In fact, aside from the fact that Nolan is directing and Universal is distributing, and Damon is in talks to lead the cast, we know virtually nothing about this film, not even the title. It really speaks to how influential Nolan has become as a filmmaker that the release date news is so important.
It was recently reported that the Dark Knight director vetoed a key moment in 2019's Joker when he was working with Warner Bros., but now that he's parted ways with the studio, it's been added to the Folie à Deux sequel.
