Anne Hathaway has built a career as Hollywood’s most elegant chameleon, seamlessly jumping from tiaras to tears with enviable finesse. From charming audiences in The Princess Diaries to delivering steel-lined wit in The Devil Wears Prada and winning an Academy Award for Les Misérables, she has mastered both sparkle and substance. Even her recent turns in The Intern and Ocean’s 8 prove she can steal scenes with a raised brow alone. With this résumé of intriguing choices, it is only fitting that her next role continues the trend.

To add another cinematic gold to her gauntlet, Hathaway now stars in Mother Mary, a film as intriguingly unpredictable as her finest work.

Although A24 has yet to confirm a premiere, Mother Mary is widely expected to arrive in late 2025 or early 2026, according to industry tracking. This anticipated window has already placed the film on the radar of awards-season watchers and cinephiles.

Commanded and penned by David Lowery, the feature completed filming in Germany in July 2024 and is now in post-production. With A24 steering distribution, the project is progressing toward a high-profile launch.

The plot of Mother Mary concerns itself with a superstar songstress, entrusted to Anne Hathaway, who flees her tour in a fit of existential disarray and buries herself in pastoral exile. a visionary fashion designer who originally engineered her star persona. The story delves into their fraught dynamic, intercut with surreal memories, electrifying stage sequences, and the creation of one extraordinary dress.  Rumor from tasteful creatives insists Hathaway possesses enviably refined musical inclinations, making the casting delightfully apt.

As ambition, affection, and self-invention collide, the tale ripens into a theatrical tempest. With such performers at the helm, one anticipates a most vivid resurrection of this tale on screen.

Anne Hathaway may be leading Mother Mary, but the ensemble surrounding her signals a richly layered on-screen dynamic. Michaela Coel portrays Sam, the visionary designer shaping the pop star’s image, with Hunter Schafer as Hilda, Sam’s trusted aide. Jessica Brown Findlay appears as Tessa, while Sian Clifford joins as Jade. FKA Twigs, Alba Baptista, and Kaia Gerber further expand the cast, adding range and cultural currency to the project’s character roster.

The auditory realm is equally pedigreed: Daniel Hart conducts the score, while Jack Antonoff and Charli XCX supply original compositions likely to rattle both chandeliers and streaming charts. With such refined talent tuning every note, stitch, and syllable, this A24 enterprise seems destined to make an entrance rather than merely arrive. One suspects audiences will remember its curtain call long after the lights rise.
