Tom Holland will star in Christopher Nolan’s latest feature, joining Matt Damon in the top-secret project. Nolan both writes and directs the feature, with Universal Pictures distributing. The studio has set a release date of July 17th, 2026.

Though plot details are being kept in a bunker under the Universal offices, sources say the setting is not in the present day. Not that it’s much to go on…

Nolan has cast Damon twice previously, as an astronaut in Interstellar and as the director of the Manhattan Project in Oppenheimer, but the new project will mark the director’s first collaboration with Tom Holland.

Nolan earned his first Academy Award for Oppenheimer last year, which was his first project with Universal after having remained loyal to Warner Bros. since 2002. Nolan moved to Universal after Warner temporarily abandoned exclusive theatrical distribution.

Holland’s onboarding the project may have some ripple effects: the actor will spend next year working on this project as well as Spider-Man 4 (with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’s Destin Daniel Cretton on board to direct), and with a likely stop for Avengers: Doomsday. He was most recently seen in the psychological thriller from Akiva Goldsman, The Crowded Room, and recently completed a run in a stage production of Romeo and Juliet opposite Francesca Amewudah-Rivers in London’s West End.
