Charlize Theron has become the latest high-profile addition to the cast of Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming film at Universal.

The Oscar-winning actress is now part of a star-studded lineup that features Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, and Robert Pattinson. Information regarding the eagerly awaited film’s storyline is being kept confidential, and sources have informed Variety that the previously released loglines or summaries are inaccurate.

Universal has not commented on the recent casting announcement.

The studio and Nolan are aiming to start production on their follow-up to the Oscar-winning film “Oppenheimer” in the first half of 2025. Universal has scheduled the film for a theatrical release on July 17, 2026, with plans for a special rollout in IMAX theaters.

Although this marks the first collaboration between Nolan and Theron, she has an extensive history with Universal, having appeared in action-thriller “Atomic Blonde” (produced by Focus Features), the “Snow White and the Huntsman” series, “A Million Ways to Die in the West,” and as the antagonist Cipher in several entries of the “Fast and Furious” franchise, including 2023’s “Fast X.”

Beyond her work with Universal, the South African actress, producer, and philanthropist is known for her Oscar-winning performance in “Monster,” along with Academy Award-nominated roles in “Bombshell” and “North Country,” and her iconic portrayal of Furiosa in “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Currently, Theron is involved in several upcoming projects, including a sequel to the Netflix action film “The Old Guard,” the thriller “Apex,” and the heist movie “Two for the Money” at Apple.

Theron is represented by CAA and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller, Gellman, Meigs & Fox.
