Every Anne Hathaway Movie Coming in 2026 & 2027
Like a few of her shiniest colleagues, Anne Hathaway is currently in the early stages of perhaps the greatest 18-month run of her career.
If, like us, you stuck with her through that unfortunate Hathahate era (a mean-spirited backlash to her emotional speech after winning the Best Supporting Actress award for Les Miserables), this upcoming flourish of blockbuster parts and intriguing dramatic roles shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, but the volume and variety are definitely worth talking about.
In 2026 alone, we’ve already seen her strut her stuff in two fashion-focused movies (more on them in a moment) and there are still at least four more fascinating projects to follow in the next year or so.
Read on to learn a bit more about each of them and use the guide to find out where to see them, whether in theatres or on services like AppleTV, Netflix, Prime Video and elsewhere.
Mother Mary was actually already released in cinemas this April, but given all the big movies that have come out this year there’s a chance that this stylish, supernatural and psychological thriller went under your radar.
Directed by David Lowery (The Green Knight, A Ghost Story), Mother Mary sees Hathaway play a veteran popstar – think two parts Madonna, one part Lady Gaga – who decides to collaborate with her original designer (played by the great Michaela Coel) for her next tour. If you are familiar with Lowery’s work, you’ll know that strange things will start to happen.
With over $600 million already in the bank and counting, The Devil Wears Prada 2 has arguably been the second-best success story at the box office so far this year (Obsession’s incredible run cannot be ignored). Of course, any sequel to such a beloved movie was always going to get a lot of attention, but the return of Meryl Streep’s Amanda Priestly has been equally welcomed by critics, fans and the general moviegoing public.
The sequel sees Hathaway’s Andy Sachs returning (alongside Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt, of course) to Runway magazine after being laid off from her job as an investigative reporter. If you are a fan of the original, I can’t recommend it enough; but the same can be said for fans of globetrotting caper movies like Ocean’s Twelve. There’s even a jazzy score!
And so to the biggest of the biggies: Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. The 2026 box office rankings will be a hotly-contested battle this year with Avengers Doomsday and Dune: Part Three both arriving in December, but the summer’s biggest release – which is based, almost literally, on a tale as old as time and stars basically every A-lister we have – will take some beating.
For this one, Hathaway is playing Penelope, the Queen of Ithaca and the wife of Matt Damon’s Odysseus. This is Hathaway’s third collaboration with Nolan after doing fine work in both Interstellar and The Dark Knight Rises, and while there will be no shortage of actors jostling for screentime here, we expect her role to be significant.
If I had to choose, the movie I might be most excited about on Hathaway’s roster of upcoming projects is The End of Oak Street, an original sci-fi mystery (from the It Follows director David Robert Mitchel) about a suburban street that apparently transports to some other realm. Hathaway leads the cast alongside Ewan McGregor and there is also a score by the great Michael Giacchino.
The movie is being produced by JJ Abrams and has the feel of one of those early Bad Robot releases like Lost or Cloverfield – which is to say, we will probably be given very little info in the leadup to its release this August and the movie will be full of twists and surprises. If the trailer is something to go by, there will at least be dinosaurs, and some even think it might even be a secret Cloverfield project.
Having already done a Spielbergian suburban sci-fi, a swords and sandals epic, an A24 horror, and a hugely successful popcorn sequel in 2026, Hathaway is set to close out the year with an erotic thriller adapted from a best-selling Colleen Hoover novel from 2017. Now that’s range.
Set for release in early October, the movie (and the novel) is called Verity and it’s being directed by Michael Showalter – who also helmed The Big Sick and got a lovely performance out of Hathaway in the excellent 2024 rom-com The Idea of You. The plot for this one follows an out-of-work writer (Dakota Johnson) who comes into the alluring orbit of a hugely successful author (Hathaway) and her husband (Josh Hartnett). Get ready, this one could get spicy.
At time of writing, the only 2027 project on Hathaway’s docket is Alone at Dawn, an adaptation of a non-fiction book about John A. Chapman, who was awarded the U.S. Medal of Honour for his service in the War in Afghanistan.
With an exact release date yet to be set (shooting wrapped in February, so we can expect it next year), it’s unclear who Hathaway will play at this point, but we do know that Adam Driver will star as Chapman and that veteran director Ron Howard is at the tiller. If Howard’s recent output is anything to go by, we can expect this one to be in the same vein as Thirteen Lives – his underappreciated dramatisation of the 2018 Tham Luang cave rescue mission. More on this one as we get it.
