Christopher Nolan Sets Next Film For Summer 2026

[Lootpack]

Sources tell Deadline that Nolan is returning to Universal for his next film, with plans for an Imax release on July 17, 2026, and that Matt Damon is in talks to star. Nolan will be directing from a script he wrote and will produce with Emma Thomas through their Syncopy banner.

As with any Nolan project, plot details are being kept as secret as anything in this town, though sources say the film is expected to shoot in early 2025.

Oppy was based on a true story. Tenet wasn’t and I’m assuming he’s going back to fiction

I gave up on him after Tenet (and Dunkirk), he surprised the fukk out of me with Oppenheimer, intrigued what he does next.

Nolan went back to the kitchen after the Oscars

Is it habitual to have a release date before even knowing who your lead role is?

Oppenheimer was good. His best movie since TDK for me. Let's see what he looks up next.
