July 17, 2026. That’s the release date of director Chris Nolan’s next film, according to fresh reports.

And the release date isn’t all we know about the as-yet unnamed project, which is to be Nolan’s first film after delivering the third-highest grossing movie of 2023 with Oppenheimer.

As reported by Deadline, Matt Damon is in talks to star, with filming set to begin in early 2025. Damon has been a favored collaborator of Nolan’s, with the pair teaming up in 2014’s Inception, as well as Oppenheimer. It’ll be the third time Damon has worked with Nolan, as the actor joins the likes of Christian Bale and Cillian Murphy , who have all worked with Nolan three times.

Universal

Nolan has apparently already written the script, as is returning to Universal after achieving success with the distributor on Oppenheimer. That filmed grossed $328.9 million at the domestic box office and $975.6 million worldwide, It also Oppenheimer won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Nolan, Best Actor for Murphy and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr.

You can expect more A-listers to join Damon on the film. If it’s anything like Oppenheimer, it’ll be an all-star cast, with virtually every actor in Hollywood and beyond keen to work with one of the most prestigious directors around.
