Tom Holland is in talks to join the cast of Christopher Nolan’s next film.

Should the deal go through, the ‘Spider-Man’ actor would star alongside Matt Damon in the otherwise top-secret film. Nolan will write and direct the film, which Universal Pictures will release in theaters on July 17, 2026.

Universal had no comment on Holland’s casting.

The upcoming feature film, which has not yet been titled, is expected to open in early 2025, although Holland’s casting could prove challenging for production timelines. The actor, best known for his role as Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will be busy in the coming year with “Spider-Man 4” and possibly the next “Avengers” sequel, as first noted by the Hollywood Reporter . In between stints as your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, Holland appeared in the West End adaptation of “Romeo & Juliet” alongside Francesca Amewudah-Rivers.

This project reunites Nolan with the studio that backed his hugely successful historical drama “Oppenheimer,” which won the Oscar for Best Picture (and six other pictures) and grossed $975 million at the worldwide box office. The three-hour R-rated play marked Nolan’s first collaboration with Universal, marking the director’s break from a nearly two-decade creative partnership with Warner Bros., the company that has backed many of his biggest blockbusters, including The trilogy ‘The Dark Knight’, ‘Inception’ and ‘Dunkirk’. Nolan reportedly went straight to Universal for his ‘Oppenheimer’ sequel instead of shopping the film across town.

“Oppenheimer” employees with plenty of Hollywood talent, including but not limited to Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, Damon, Florence Pugh, Rami Malek and Josh Hartnett. So it’s safe to assume that a bevy of A-listers will soon join Damon and Holland in this upcoming feature film.
