Charlize Theron Latest Addition To A-List Ensemble Of Christopher Nolan’s Next Movie

Charlize Theron is set to join the cast of Christopher Nolan’s next film at Universal. She joins a cast that already includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Lupita Nyong’o.

The film will have an Imax release on July 17, 2026. The date falls in line with a number of Nolan films that have had similar release dates in the past, most recently his Oscar Best Picture winner Oppenheimer last year.

Universal had no comment on the casting of Theron.

The logline is under wraps, with sources noting that loglines or descriptions of the film that have been published to date are wrong. The movie is expected to start shooting in early 2025.

Nolan is always one to mix his ensembles using talent he has worked with before and actors new to the Nolan universe. The Oscar-winning Theron falls under the latter category.

Theron is about to start production on the survival thriller Apex at Netflix opposite Taron Egerton.
