After his two Oscar wins for the hit drama last year Oppenheimeras well as his other six Oscar nominations for ensemble drama thrillers such as I remember, StartAND Dunkirkhe is one of the most sought after directors in Hollywood.
Now, Holland is talking about what it was like to be offered a starring role in Nolan’s next film directly from the director himself (via a rather emotional phone call).
Holland explained Good morning America (via Variety), “All I can say is I’m incredibly excited. And obviously honored, but that’s all I can say because, to be honest, that’s all I know.”
When the Good morning America The hosts asked if Nolan was a director that Holland would say yes to “sight unseen,” the actor replied, “100% without a shadow of a doubt.”
“When the opportunity presented itself, it was the phone call of a lifetime,” Holland added. “It reminded me of getting the call about Spider-Man 10 years ago. It’s an amazing thing for me. I’m super proud and I’m really, really excited.”
Nolan is writing and directing the new film, which Universal Pictures will release in theaters on July 17, 2026. Filming on the next feature, which does not have a title, is expected to begin in early 2025.
