Christopher Nolan has yet again added another name to hisupcoming mystery movieas Lupita Nyong’o joins the already star-studded cast.

According toThe Hollywood Reporter, Black Panther actor Nyong’o is the latest A-lister to join Nolan’s new project. The film currently also has Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, and Zendaya on its cast list.

Nyong’o is best known for her variety of stellar roles in films such as Jordan Peele’s Us, 12 Years a Slave, and Marvel’s Black Panther franchise. But this year, the star pulled at moviegoers' heartstrings with Universal’s emotional animationThe Wild Robot, and scared audiences silly in A Quiet Place sequel,A Quiet Place: Day One.

But, of course,rumors have already started to swirl about what the new film could be, with everything from a period vampire thriller to an all-out action thriller on the cards. However, THR claims that “nothing has come close to nailing Nolan’s real idea.” But, with Nolan’s last movieOppenheimerdazzling audiences andwinning in seven categoriesat the 96th Academy Awards, we have high hopes for this new project.

The mystery film marks the filmmaker’s reunion with the same studio under which he released the Cillian Murphy-starring smash-hit. Nolan is also on board as producer alongside his wife Emma Thomas under their Syncopy banner.
