‘Interstellar’ Fans Rejoice as Christopher Nolan Releases Latest Updates on His Upcoming Movie, Here’s All We Know

Published 11/09/2024, 2:42 AM EST

Oppenheimer brought the Academy’s approval for Christopher Nolan this year, but the debate has been ongoing for far too long on whether he should have been an Academy favorite way before this. Nolan never needed Academy Awards to validate his vision, but a snub that still stings like a bee is his 2014 sci-fi epic Interstellar, starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway. 

Ten years later, as Nolan gears up for his next blockbuster, fans are flocking to the internet to celebrate his tabloid takeover with an Interstellar-level detail for his next big thing.

Besides Christopher Nolan’s master of vision, one thing he religiously leans back on is star power. Following his atomic entry to the Academy’s catalog, Nolan now aims at a cinematic redemption for Interstellar by joining forces with Anne Hathaway for a third time for his next film with Universal Studios, according to Deadline. While Matt Damon and Tom Holland’s addition was already known, Nolan has also tapped Zendaya for the movie.

The film is reportedly slated for an IMAX release on July 17, 2026, potentially squaring off with another big director, Steven Spielberg's cinematic arrival. The movie's release date also aligns favorably with a number of Nolan’s past releases and is expected to start shooting early in 2025. However, sources cite that the descriptions of the film published to date are untrue and the details are still a mystery.

Although IMAX has dived headfirst with new technologies to complement Nolan’s next manifestation, fans see Hathaway’s team-up with the Oscar-winning director as poetic justice.
