Josh Hartnett just dropped a juicy plot twist — Verity, the upcoming film based on Colleen Hoover’s dark-and-twisty bestseller, is NOT your average CoHo cuddlefest. Nope, this baby’s got claws.

Josh “Still a Snack at 46” Hartnett is starring in the Verity movie alongside Dakota “50 Shades of Literally Everything” Johnson and Anne “I Woke Up Like This” Hathaway. And according to Josh, this adaptation is going to shake things up harder than a Kindle falling into a bubble bath.

“I don’t think people know what to expect from it,” he told Lauren Veneziani, which is code for: “Prepare to have your mind blown and possibly mildly traumatized.”

“It’s sexy. It’s mysterious. It’s a little gothic. It’s a little scary. It’s wild,” Josh said, basically describing every ex you’ve ever had — but in film form. “And I think it’s gonna be surprising for audiences,” he added, twirling his metaphorical mustache.

But wait — there’s more! Josh also got a little gushy about finally working with the ever-regal Anne Hathaway. “I’ve met Anne quite a few times over the years and always wanted to work with her,” he said, lowkey sounding like he’s describing a rom-com plot. “She said she always wanted to work with me too,” he added, and somewhere in Hollywood, a casting agent just felt a tingle.

When the role came up, Anne (who’s also producing, because of course she is) and director Michael Showalter gave Josh the rose and cast him. “It was just an awesome opportunity,” he said, smiling like someone who definitely knows he gets to kiss someone on screen.

Verity creeps into theaters on May 15, 2026 — so mark your calendars, clutch your pearls, and maybe start emotionally preparing yourself now. Because if the movie is anything like the book… you’re in for one hell of a ride.
