Anne Hathaway’s Next Movie Might Just Be the Sexiest Thriller of 2026

Anne Hathaway is set to star in Verity, a thriller adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel. The film follows Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson), a struggling writer hired by Jeremy Crawford (Josh Hartnett) to help complete his wife Verity’s manuscript after she becomes incapacitated. As Lowen delves deeper into the work, she uncovers disturbing truths about Verity that transform the project into something far more sinister. Directed by Michael Showalter, the film is being positioned as a “twisted, dirty thriller” rather than a traditional slasher, emphasizing psychological tension over gore. The project builds on Hathaway’s prolific year, which has included appearances in multiple major releases.
