Zendaya is reuniting with Tom Holland on the big screen, this time at the direction of Christopher Nolan.
The Dune and Challengers actress, 28, will be joining Nolan's next film at Universal alongside Anne Hathaway, according to Deadline and Variety. The movie, which also stars Matt Damon, will be released in July 2026, the outlets reported.
Details of the film's plot are reportedly under wraps.
Holland, 28, and Zendaya, who confirmed their romantic relationship in 2021, have previously teamed up for 2017's Spider-Man Homecoming, 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home and 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Zendaya and Hathaway, 41, previously worked together on set of a Bulgari ad in 2022, while Hathaway and Nolan's working relationship dates back to 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises and 2014’s Interstellar.
Nolan's next movie will mark his follow-up to the 2023 blockbuster Oppenheimer, which also featured a performance from Damon, 54.
Multiple outlets, including Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, reported last month that Holland was in talks to star in the director's next movie alongside Damon. All three outlets indicated Nolan's next movie would begin filming in early 2025.
On Good Morning America last month, Holland said of the Nolan project, "I’m incredibly excited. And, obviously, honored, but that’s all I can say because, to be honest, that’s all I know.” The star has also indicated that a new Spider-Man movie will begin filming next year.
Earlier this year, Hathaway spoke with Vanity Fair for a cover story, when she detailed how Nolan, 54, helped her career during a period of online scrutiny in the 2010s. After her Oscar win for 2012's Lés Miserables, Hathaway said many people "wouldn’t give" her roles "because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online."
"I had an angel in Christopher Nolan, who did not care about that and gave me one of the most beautiful roles I’ve had in one of the best films that I’ve been a part of," she said of Nolan and Interstellar.
“I don’t know if he knew that he was backing me at the time, but it had that effect,” she added. “And my career did not lose momentum the way it could have if he hadn’t backed me.”
