It’s a reunion for Hathaway and Nolan, who previously worked together on 2014’s space epic ‘Interstellar’ and 2012’s ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. Earlier this year, Hathaway expressed his gratitude to Nolan, who cast her in ‘Interstellar’ amid a wave of online hate following her Oscar win for “Les Misérables.” “A lot of people didn’t want to give me roles because they were so concerned about how toxic my identity had become online,” Hathaway says told Vanity Fair. “I had an angel in Christopher Nolan, who didn’t care about that and gave me one of the most beautiful roles I’ve had in one of the best films I’ve been a part of… And my career didn’t lose momentum like it could have if he hadn’t supported me.

Hathaway has a jam-packed slate of upcoming films, including James Gray’s “Paper Tiger” opposite Adam Driver and Jeremy Strong, director David Robert Mitchell’s “Flowervale Street,” “Mother Mary” opposite Michaela Coel and Disney’s highly anticipated “Princess Diaries 3.” ”

Zendaya appeared in two of the year’s biggest hits, ‘Challengers’ and ‘Dune: Part Two’, and will next star opposite Robert Pattinson in ‘The Drama’. She and real-life lover Tom Holland have previously worked together on the ‘Spider-Man’ films. Holland has been confirmed to reprise his role as Peter Parker for the upcoming fourth film in that franchise, but it’s not yet clear if Zendaya’s MJ will return.

Zendaya is repped by CAA, Monster Talent Management and Granderson Rochers. Hathaway is repped by CAA, Entertainment 360 and Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern.
