Robert Pattinson is set to reunite with Tom Holland for Christopher Nolan's next movie.

The two actors previously worked together on 2016's The Lost City of Z and 2020's The Devil All the Time, with the Batman actor now the latest big name to sign on to the untitled Nolan film – having worked previously with the director on Tenet.

Alongside the previously-confirmed Holland, Pattinson joins Zendaya, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway and Lupita Nyong'o on the project, which is yet to share a synopsis – though reports suggest it will not be set in the present day.

The movie is expected to begin production in the first half of next year ahead of its release date in July 2026.

It follows on from Nolan's 2023 hit Oppenheimer, which explored the life of J Robert Oppenheimer, dubbed the father of the atomic bomb.

The movie took $977 million at the box office, and went on to win seven Oscars at this year's Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director for Nolan and Best Actor for lead star Cillian Murphy.

Holland recently spoke about his part in the director's new movie, comparing it to his role as Spider-Man.

"When the opportunity came in, it was the phone call of a lifetime," he said (via GamesRadar). "[It was] reminiscent of getting that call about Spider-Man 10 years ago. It's an amazing thing for me. I'm super proud and I'm really, really excited."

He further teased: "All I can say is that I'm incredibly excited and obviously honoured, but that's all I can say because to be honest that's really all I know."

The untitled Nolan film will be released in cinemas on July 17, 2026.
