Anne Hathaway, 43, is pregnant with her third child and on track to release five films in 2026 — a combination she calls "extremely surreal." People reports she spoke at the London premiere of The Odyssey on July 6, describing the busy stretch as a wave she plans to "surf" for as long as it lasts.
Hathaway has already released Mother Mary and The Devil Wears Prada 2 this year. The Odyssey is currently in theaters. Two more films — The End of Oak Street and Verity — are set for August 14 and October 2, respectively, according to Yahoo News.
Five Films, One Baby, and a Packed 2026 Calendar
Hathaway's 2026 slate is one of the most crowded for any actor in recent memory. Mother Mary and The Devil Wears Prada 2 have already hit screens. The Odyssey opened in July. The End of Oak Street arrives August 14, and Verity closes the year on October 2, per Yahoo News.
She is also expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman. The couple already have two sons — Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6. Hathaway announced the pregnancy in June with an Instagram video showing her in a flowing white dress, according to People.
Hathaway Plays Penelope Opposite Matt Damon in Nolan's Odyssey
In The Odyssey, Hathaway plays Penelope — the wife who waits while her husband is lost at sea. Matt Damon plays Odysseus. The film is directed by Christopher Nolan, one of Hollywood's biggest names. It was the centerpiece of Hathaway's busy London premiere week.
Hathaway told People at the premiere that juggling a major film career with an expanding family feels like uncharted territory. "Extremely surreal" were the exact words she used to sum up where her life stands right now.
Gratitude and Balance Drive Hathaway's Busy Season Mindset
Rather than showing stress, Hathaway is leaning into the moment. She said she plans to "surf this wave" as long as it continues, Babushahi reported. Her tone at the London premiere was one of excitement, not pressure.
She emphasized that family stays central even during the career surge. With five releases packed into one calendar year and a new baby on the way, Hathaway is framing 2026 as a rare, transitional moment — one she intends to embrace fully rather than manage cautiously.
