Anne Hathaway is stepping into the role of a pop superstar in A24’s upcoming film Mother Mary, a genre-bending mix of musical drama and supernatural storytelling. The project, slated for release in April 2026, pairs Hathaway with Michaela Coel, the Emmy-winning creator and star of I May Destroy You.
