Summary

  • Four 2026 releases have already put Anne Hathaway on pace for one of her busiest years, with The End of Oak Street opening Friday and Verity still due in October.
  • At Sunday’s premiere, Hathaway said she initially thought the packed release calendar was a mistake, then embraced it as long as audiences stayed open to a run of varied projects.
  • The End of Oak Street pairs Hathaway with Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella and Christian Convery in David Robert Mitchell’s sci-fi story about a family trapped in a dinosaur-ringed neighborhood.
  • Hathaway also spoke publicly for the first time about producing and starring in Yesteryear, adapted from Caro Claire Burke’s novel about a tradwife influencer sent back to the 19th century.
  • That project arrives with built-in momentum: Yesteryear has spent 17 weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers list, and Hathaway said the team now has to 'do the movie justice.'
