Christopher Nolan's next movie casts another MCU actor to join Spider-Man stars Tom Holland and Zendaya, but what is this anticipated movie about?

Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o is set to star in Christopher Nolan ‘s next event film at Universal. She joins previously announced cast members Matt Damon , Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway and Zendaya. The film will have an Imax release on July 17, 2026. The date falls in line with a number of Nolan films that have had similar release dates in the past.

Nyong'o is best known for her variety of stellar roles in films such as Jordan Peele's Us, 12 Years a Slave, and Marvel’s Black Panther franchise. But this year, the star pulled at moviegoers' heartstrings with Universal's emotional animation The Wild Robot, and scared audiences silly in A Quiet Place sequel, A Quiet Place: Day One.
