David Lowery's new psycho-drama Mother Mary seems like nothing if not one hell of an acting showcase for Anne Hathaway, who plays the titular pop star as she reunites with her fashion designer and former lover Sam (Michaela Coel) on the eve of her new tour.

It goes without saying that Anne Hathaway can do glam with the best of them, and we know she can sing, so there's absolutely no way she doesn't totally persuade as a mega-star.

But of course, we also know that Hathaway is a top-notch dramatic performer, and given that Mother Mary is reportedly a tense thriller mostly confined to a few small locations, it should give her the ripest opportunity she's had in a while to absolutely go for it.

Hathaway has a positively stacked 2026 as she's also set to appear in The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey, The End of Oak Street, and Verity, but it's Mother Mary which seems primed to be the most fascinating and adventurous showcase of her acting chops.
