Actress Anne Hathaway.Janet Mayer/INSTARimages.com
What a fabulous year Anne Hathaway is having. She has five projects of different shapes and sizes on her slate in 2026, with three having already been released. She began the year with David Lowery‘s new psychological drama Mother Mary, and then reprised her role as Andy Sachs in The Devil Wears Prada 2, which grossed nearly $700 million worldwide. She can currently be seen in Christopher Nolan‘s latest epic, The Odyssey, which will likely surpass The Devil Wears Prada 2 in box-office returns, and has earned a tremendous 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Up next, Hathaway will star alongside Ewan McGregorin the mysterious sci-fi movie The End of Oak Street, before wrapping up 2026 with the red-hot literary adaptation Verity.
Perhaps this streak of movies, aimed at different audience demographics, might shed light on some of Hathaway’s more overlooked work. In the last decade, she has starred in several movies that slipped through the cracks. Many of them received enthusiastic reviews. At the top of this list are the dramas Armageddon Time and She Came to Me. Hathaway also starred in a handful of edgier titles, such as Mother’s Instinct, Eileen, and Serenity. However, one of her most acclaimed roles came in a movie that will turn 10 next year. The movie in question is currently streaming in North America on Netflix, but it’s set to be removed from the platform soon.

Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.

🔥Mad Max

🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars

01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.

02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
Advertisement
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.

04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.

05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.

06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.

07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.

08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.

Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
Advertisement
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
Advertisement
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Advertisement
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Advertisement
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
Advertisement
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

Anne Hathaway Took on Ted Lasso Himself in This Critically Acclaimed Sci-Fi Movie
We’re talking about the character-driven sci-fi movie Colossal, in which Hathaway played an alcoholic who discovers that her demons manifest in the form of a city-destroying kaiju. Colossal was directed by Nacho Vigalondo, best known for the Spanish-language mind-bender Timecrimes, as his second Hollywood project. It also featured Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikisin a supporting role and received positive reviews. The movie now holds a “Certified Fresh” 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Colossal‘s singular strangeness can be disorienting, but viewers who hang on may find that its genre-defying execution — and Anne Hathaway’s performance — is well worth the ride.” Despite the positive reviews, the movie grossed under $5 million at the box office. You can watch it on Netflix until August 10. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
