Anne Hathaway's Next Movie Might Just Be the Sexiest Thriller of 2026 — Image via polygon.com,

Anne Hathaway dives into her darkest role yet in the twisted thriller Verity.

In the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios release, Anne Hathaway steps into the unsettling world of Verity Crawford, an injured best‑selling novelist whose husband (Josh Hartnett) enlists a struggling writer, Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson), to finish her manuscript. As the new writer uncovers hidden secrets, the film morphs into a sexy, creepy, and suspense‑filled erotic thriller—not a typical blood‑soaked slasher. Director Michael Showalter describes the project as a "twisted, dirty thriller" that felt instantly visual to him. He was drawn to the script’s blend of tragedy, love affairs, and violent career twists, and praised the layered characters that inhabit a single, tension‑charged house. Showalter also highlighted author Colleen Hoover’s hands‑on involvement, noting she was on set for portions of shooting and helped shape the screenplay during pre‑production. Hathaway’s performance is set to be a study in extremes. Showalter marvels at her "10,000% commitment" and the way she crafts multiple facets of Verity, forcing audiences to constantly question whether she’s the victim, the villain, or something far more ambiguous. The director hints that viewers will be pulled between trust and suspicion, never quite sure which version of Verity to believe. Verity hits theaters on October 2, promising fans a daring new side of Hathaway and a thriller that will linger long after the credits roll.

Dakota Johnson and Anne Hathaway turn heads at Verity’s NYC press day

The star‑studded press day for the upcoming thriller Verity turned New York’s hotel scene into a runway. Dakota Johnson arrived in a sleek black dress that highlighted her understated elegance, while a visibly pregnant Anne Hathaway chose a bold turquoise two‑piece that popped against the city’s winter backdrop. Their coordinated yet distinct looks sparked a flurry of camera clicks and set the tone for the film’s high‑profile rollout. Based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, Verity follows the tangled lives of famed author Verity Crawford (Hathaway) and struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh (Johnson). When Lowen moves into the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite, she discovers chilling autobiographical notes that blur the line between fiction and reality. The discovery drags her into a maze of twisted confessions about Verity’s husband Jeremy, played by Josh Hartnett, forcing her to navigate manipulation, attraction, and obsession. Fans can mark their calendars for the October 2 theatrical release, when the seductive psychological thriller hits cinemas nationwide. The buzz surrounding the film is already amplified by Johnson’s recent personal headlines—including a new romance with musician Machine Gun Kelly—adding an extra layer of intrigue to the movie’s promotional push.
