Already Five Releases This Year... Anne Hathaway's Busy Schedule While Heavily Pregnant

Actor Anne Hathaway is continuing her busy streak with five films released in South Korea in 2026 alone.

While also eyeing a nomination for next year's Academy Awards with The Odyssey, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Last Days of John Street, Verity, and Mother Mary have also received great love from domestic audiences or are expected to do so.

Having met domestic audiences in April with The Devil Wears Prada 2, Anne Hathaway once again heated up the box office in August through director Christopher Nolan's blockbuster The Odyssey. Based on Homer's classical epic, the film depicts Odysseus' journey back to his homeland after the Trojan War. Anne Hathaway played the role of Odysseus' wife, Penelope, adding weight to the film with her deep acting.

Mobilizing 12.31 million viewers domestically, it surpassed Interstellar to become director Christopher Nolan's highest-grossing film. Anne Hathaway's passionate performance, which rivaled Matt Damon in the role of Odysseus, has greenlit her chances of receiving a Best Actress nomination at next year's Academy Awards.

She is exuding yet another charm in Verity, which was released on the 22nd. Anne Hathaway plays Verity, a bestselling author who halted her writing career due to an accident, heightening the mysterious atmosphere of the film. Even amidst evaluations that the film failed to fully capture Colleen Hoover's bestselling original novel, reviews for Anne Hathaway's acting alone are unanimously favorable.

In November, she will meet domestic audiences once again with A24's pop music thriller Mother Mary. Mother Mary is a pop music thriller about a pop icon named Mother Mary (Anne Hathaway) who, ahead of a globally anticipated comeback stage, seeks out Sam (Michaela Coel)—a long-discarded friend and designer—for the single dress that will complete her, spending an unbelievable day together.

Anne Hathaway densely portrays not only the appearance of a pop star capturing public attention on a flashy stage, but also the scars, love-hate, and inescapable emotions piled up between two long-estranged friends.

Anne Hathaway announced her third pregnancy through her personal social media on June 19. Recently, she also showed her passion by digesting the red carpet and promotional activities for Verity while heavily pregnant.

The domestic release timings of the five films happened to overlap, but they were not all filmed at the same time. However, films boasting distinct personalities shot over the past two years have been released back-to-back, serving as an opportunity to experience Anne Hathaway's wide-ranging acting spectrum.
