After blowing our minds with his Oscar-winning film Oppenheimer last year, Christopher Nolan is already plotting its follow-up. The acclaimed director is planning to release his next film in the summer of 2026, and Matt Damon is eying the lead role in this mystery project.
The plot of Nolan’s next project is being kept under wraps, but we already know when it will hit the theaters. It will reportedly be shot in early 2025, and the Oscar-winning director is planning for an Imax release on July 17, 2026, via Universal Pictures.
Expectations are running high for Nolan’s next project, especially after the enormous success of his latest historical drama Oppenheimer. It won seven Academy Awards, including best picture, best director, best actor for Cillian Murphy, and best supporting actor for Robert Downey Jr., in addition to becoming one of Nolan’s most commercially successful films, with $977 million grossed worldwide.
Matt Damon was also a part of the film’s star-studded ensemble cast, which also included Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh. He’ll reportedly reunite with Nolan in his next project, but not much is known about his role at the time. His recent credits as an actor include Doug Liman’s The Instigators and John Krasinski’s IF.
