Charlize Theron is the latest star to join Christopher Nolan’s top-secret follow-up to his Best Picture Oscar winner “Oppenheimer,” which Universal will release on July 17, 2026, The Wrap has learned.
The film also stars Tom Holland, Matt Damon, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya. Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson. Plot details are currently being kept under wraps and insiders note that loglines or descriptions of the film that have been published to date are wrong.
Through a combination of Nolan’s devoted global fanbase, universal acclaim, strong marketing from Universal and Imax, and an organic pop culture phenomenon spawned by its shared release with “Barbie,” “Oppenheimer” became the highest-grossing biopic in box office history with $976 million worldwide last year.
