Zendaya has been added to the cast

The 28-year-old actress and Anne Hathaway have both been added to the star-studded cast of the acclaimed director's next film project, Deadline reports.

Zendaya's casting means she will be reunited on-screen with Tom Holland, her boyfriend and 'Spider-Man' co-star.

Anne, meanwhile, is set to reunite with the director, having previously worked with him on 'Interstellar' and 'The Dark Knight Rises'.

Nolan's latest project will begin shooting in early 2025, and the film is expected to have an Imax release in July 2026.

Despite this, sources have told Deadline that specific details about the project remain a closely-guarded secret, meaning that rumoured descriptions of the film have not been accurate.

In fact, Tom recently confessed that he joined the cast without knowing what the film is about.

The 28-year-old actor admitted it was a "phone call of a lifetime" when he was presented with the opportunity to take part in the forthcoming movie.

Tom - who started dating Zendaya after starring alongside her in the 'Spider-Man' film franchise - told 'Good Morning America': "All I can say is that I’m incredibly excited. And obviously honoured, but that’s all I can say because, to be honest, that’s all I know."

Tom - who is also set to star alongside Matt Damon in the upcoming movie - likened receiving the call to being cast as Spider-Man.

He explained: "When the opportunity came in, it was the phone call of a lifetime.

"It was reminiscent 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."
