Recent rumors surrounding Christopher Nolan’s thirteenth film suggest an intriguing father-and-son narrative featuring Matt Damon and Tom Holland. Holland expressed his excitement about the project during an interview with Good Morning America, comparing it to the moment he received the call for his role in Spider-Man a decade ago.
Both actors are reportedly in discussions to lead the film, which has a scheduled release date of July 17, 2026. This project marks Holland’s first collaboration with Nolan, while it will be Damon’s third following his performances in Interstellar and Oppenheimer. In addition, Holland is set to begin filming Spider-Man 4 next summer, alongside Marvel’s upcoming Avengers film. Damon will also appear in a film adaptation of the 1992 musical Kiss of the Spider Woman and in a sequel to The Accountant with Ben Affleck, both expected in 2025.
Plot specifics for the Nolan film remain largely undisclosed. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the story is not set in the present day, although it is uncertain whether it takes place in the past or future. Additionally, it has been clarified that this project will not be a big-screen adaptation of the 1960s British series The Prisoner, an idea that Nolan previously considered in the 2000s.
Christopher Nolan is known for being tight-lipped about his upcoming projects. For instance, when a journalist from *The Atlantic* inquired about his next film last November, he responded by saying, “[You’re] wasting your last question,” suggesting that he prefers to keep details under wraps. He later elaborated, emphasizing the importance of finding a story that captivates him for the years it typically takes to bring a film to completion. As for his thirteenth film, speculation has arisen, and we have compiled a few theories about its potential themes and narratives.
The possibility of a sixth installment in the Jason Bourne franchise is gaining traction, particularly with Matt Damon expressing interest in reprising his role. In an interview on *The Late Show with Stephen Colbert*, Damon indicated that if *Bourne 6* doesn’t materialize soon, “at a certain point somebody is going to need to take it over. I’m not getting any younger.”
Hollywood has previously attempted to continue the Bourne saga with two notable projects: *The Bourne Legacy* in 2012, featuring Jeremy Renner, and the 2019 spin-off TV series *Treadstone*, which starred Jeremy Irvine and was short-lived, lasting only one season. Given these attempts, there seems to be a strong argument for bringing back the original character, Jason Bourne. Additionally, a fresh concept involves Jason Bourne having a son, with speculation around Tom Holland possibly taking on the role of Jason Bourne Jr., which has generated significant excitement among fans.
