Following the massive critical and financial success of 2023’s Oppenheimer, Nolan is now working on a still, untitled film that will be released in 2026. It will star Matt Damon, who Nolan previously worked with on Oppenheimer and 2014’s Interstellar, and Spider-Man: No Way Home’s Tom Holland.

Per Variety, it has now been announced that Nolan — who is known for making 2000’s Memento, 2006’s The Prestige, 2008’s The Dark Knight, 2010’s Inception, 2017’s Dunkirk, and 2020’s Tenet along with the aforementioned titles —will utilize some brand-new IMAX technology when making his next film.

IMAX CEO Richard Gelond made the announcement during a call with investors and analysts. He said, “I’m pleased to share that Chris will be utilizing new Imax technology in the making of the film — never-before-used equipment that our teams have been developing through this past year.”
