Anne Hathaway Says Acting in Third Christopher Nolan Movie ‘Makes Me Feel Like I’m Doing Something Right’; She Credits Him With Saving Her Career

As a seasoned movie buff who has witnessed the ups and downs of Hollywood’s A-listers, I must admit that Anne Hathaway’s journey with Christopher Nolan is nothing short of captivating. Her third collaboration with the masterful director is not just another role, but a testament to her resilience in the face of adversity and her unwavering talent.

Actress Anne Hathaway is gearing up to appear in her third movie directed by Christopher Nolan, and she shared with Women’s Wear Daily that “it gives me the sense that I’m on the right path.” Hathaway first collaborated with Nolan as Catwoman in “The Dark Knight Rises,” then alongside Matthew McConaughey in “Interstellar.” Now, as an Academy Award winner, she joins a star-studded cast including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, and others for Nolan’s upcoming enigmatic film. The specifics of the project are still kept secret. This new movie will serve as Nolan’s next directorial effort following the Oscar-winning “Oppenheimer.

When asked about joining her third Nolan film by WWD, Hathaway expressed a multitude of emotions she couldn’t quite put into words. She is overwhelmed with joy… Her affection for Chris and Emma Nolan is profound, and being welcomed into their creative realm is an incredible privilege. Being invited twice was already special, but three times seemed excessive, so she never allowed herself to harbor such hopes. The reality of it happening now leaves her emotional, and I must admit, it makes her feel like she’s on the right path.

Earlier this year, I shared with Vanity Fair that Christopher Nolan played a pivotal role in revitalizing my career following a period when public sentiment turned against me during the Oscar season for “Les Miserables.” At that time, I was often the target of online ridicule, and I recall one instance where I nervously Googled myself after winning the Oscar, only to discover that one of the top search results was an article titled “Why is everyone hating on Anne Hathaway?

As a passionate film lover, let me share a personal experience – I found it challenging to secure roles due to the toxicity surrounding my online persona. However, there was an exceptional individual named Christopher Nolan who disregarded this and graciously offered me one of the most captivating roles in a movie that I am incredibly proud to have been a part of, among the best films I’ve ever worked on.

In “Interstellar,” Hathaway spoke about Dr. Amelia Brand’s role, mentioning that Nolan, in some way, supported her without her knowing at the time. This hidden backing significantly boosted her career, and without his support, it might have slowed down during that period.

In conversation with WWD about her role in “Interstellar”, Hathaway expressed that it was invigorating, rejuvenating, motivating, and a priceless experience at the time. Receiving ‘Interstellar’ at any stage of her career would have been a significant career milestone. For her, stepping into that world was not only the most secure but also the most thrilling environment she could find as an actor and as a person.

Tom Holland is just as thrilled as Hathaway about being part of Nolan’s new film. In an interview with “Good Morning America,” he described the opportunity as a call that was “out of this world,” similar to receiving the offer for ‘Spider-Man’ a decade ago. He expressed his immense pride in the role and shared his overwhelming excitement for the project.

Nolan is responsible for both penning and directing the upcoming film that Universal Pictures plans to premiere in cinemas on July 17, 2026. As of now, this movie remains untitled, with production slated to commence in the early months of 2025.
