Variety has revealed that Robert Pattinson is rejoining his Tenet director Christopher Nolan for the filmmaker’s highly-guarded project at Universal Pictures. Together with Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Lupita Nyong o, Anne Hathaway, and Zendaya, Pattinson completes an amazing ensemble.
The production of Universal and Nolan’s sequel to their Oscar-winning drama Oppenheimer is expected to begin in the first half of 2025. In the coming year, Pattinson will have a lot on her plate. Warner Bros. want to film a follow-up to his 2022 smash, The Batman, in which the actor will play the DC Comics superhero once more. In addition, Pattinson is starring in A24’s Primetime, a thriller that is based on the reality series To Catch a Predator and will be the first narrative movie directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Lance Oppenheim. Early in the upcoming year, that independent company intends to increase output.
Furthermore, on April 18, 2025, Pattinson’s upcoming film, Bong Joon-Ho’s sci-fi comedy Mickey 17, will be released in theaters. The $150 million Warner Bros. production, which is the Korean filmmaker’s eagerly anticipated sequel to his Oscar-winning film Parasite, is probably going to impose its own set of advertising demands on Pattinson.
After a lengthy career at Warner Bros. that produced popular classics like The Dark Knight trilogy, Dunkirk, and Interstellar, director Christopher Nolan’s final feature picture was the time-bending thriller Tenet, in which Pattinson costarred with John David Washington. Nolan’s relationship with his old home was strained by the studio’s handling of Tenet’s release during the COVID outbreak; this friction finally caused the filmmaker to open an office at Universal for Oppenheimer.
Pattinsongifted a volume of J. Robert Oppenheimer’s talks to the director as a production-wrap gift after principal photography concluded on Tenet is now a well-known piece of Nolan history. A biopic about the father of the atomic bomb was confirmed to be the director’s next project two years later.
The project will be released in theaters and on Imax on July 17, 2026, according to Universal.
