This marks Pattinson’s second collaboration with Nolan, following his appearance in “Tenet” (2020) as Neil, the handler of John David Washington‘s protagonist. Hathaway previously worked with the filmmaker in “The Dark Knight Rises” (2012) and “Interstellar” (2014), while Damon popped up in “Interstellar” and “Oppenheimer” (2023). Meanwhile, it will be the first time working with Nolan for Nyong’o, Holland, and Zendaya.

Sources tell our sister site Hollywood Reporter that Damon, Holland, Hathaway, and Pattinson are the four leads of the Nolan feature, while Nyong’o and Zendaya will have supporting roles.

The project is in pre-production right now and is expected to start shooting in early 2025. It’s suspected that all of the loglines and plot descriptions floating around the internet are fake, so feel free to ignore them until the studio itself releases a summary of the film.

In March 2024, Nolan won the first two Oscars of his esteemed career, for directing “Oppenheimer” and for producing the biopic with Emma Thomas and Charles Roven. He also earned a bid for writing the screenplay that was adapted from the biography “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin.

Nolan previously contended at the Academy Awards for writing “Memento” (2001), for writing and producing “Inception” (2010), and for directing and producing “Dunkirk” (2017).
