Spider-Man actor Tom Holland was simply solid within the subsequent movie by Oscar-winning filmmaker Christopher Nolan and whereas nobody is precisely certain what that film is about but, we simply heard a brilliant thrilling, juicy rumor about it.
Since Common introduced it was reteaming with Nolan, followers all over the place have been speculating in regards to the nature of the movie. One rumor is that it’s a horror film. One other is that it’s a helicopter motion film like 1983’s Blue Thunder. And the Hollywood Reporter story about Holland’s casting writes that “the setting just isn’t current day (though it’s unclear whether or not it’s set previously or the longer term).” Nicely, we heard two of these may doubtlessly be true. io9 bought phrase from a dependable supply that Nolan’s movie is a vampire film set within the Twenties.
We all know what you’re pondering: “Isn’t Ryan Coogler already making that film?” Sure, he’s. It’s known as Sinners and it’s out in March. However that doesn’t imply there isn’t room for 2 visionary filmmakers to deal with the identical subject, particularly when the releases are up to now aside. Don’t neglect, not solely was Nolan one in every of many administrators to deal with Batman, he did a magic film—The Status—across the identical time as a rival studio was doing a magic film, The Illusionist. He’s not beholden to what different persons are doing. Plus, it’s not like interval horror films are everywhere in the nation’s multiplexes today or ever. There’s loads of room for 2 or possibly much more of those.
io9 reached out to Common for affirmation or denial of the rumor and didn’t hear again as of publication. We’ll replace the submit if or once we do.
So is Nolan’s newest a interval vampire film? Most likely, however we are able to’t say for certain. What we are able to say for certain is it’s Nolan’s first film since successful Oscars for Finest Image and Finest Director for Oppenheimer. It stars Matt Damon and, now, Tom Holland—who’ll reportedly shoot the movie alongside Spider-Man 4 and Avengers: Doomsday. We additionally understand it’s being launched by Common, in IMAX, on July 17, 2026.
Let’s be sincere although. All of us need this rumor to be true, proper? We need to see Matt Damon and Tom Holland in lengthy, flowing coats ripping out folks’s throats in 70mm IMAX together with your seat shaking from the massive Hans Zimmer rating. That seems like the proper evening on the films. Let’s cross our fingers… however don’t present the vampires.
