Anne Hathaway’s six must-watch films to revisit before Verity hits theatres.
Anne Hathaway is one of the most exceptional Hollywood actresses who has been part of some excellent romantic dramas, comedies, and even emotionally charged stories. Now, the Oscar-winning actor is gearing up to portray one of the most intriguing roles yet, with Verity. Hathaway stars as the mysterious and celebrated author Verity Crawford in Verity, the upcoming psychological thriller based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel. The film is directed by Michael Showalter and also starring Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett, is set to release in theatres worldwide on October 2, 2026.
If you want an Anne Hathaway marathon before Verity, here are six films worth adding to your watchlist.
If you want to see Hathaway in a darker, psychologically intense role before Verity, start here. In Mothers' Instinct, she plays Celine, a mother whose seemingly idyllic life changes after a tragic accident involving her neighbour and friend Alice, played by Jessica Chastain.
Soon guilt, suspicion and paranoia takes over and their friendship turns into a psychological battle. The film explores the themes of secrets, grief, mistrust, and shows Hathaway in a thriller setting.
The Devil Wears Prada is one of the movies that cemented Anne Hathaway as the most recognisable stars. In The Devil Wears Prada, Hathaway plays Andy Sachs, a journalism graduate who lands a job assisting the intimidating Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep. What begins as a career opportunity quickly becomes a demanding test of ambition, identity and personal choices.
The 2006 film is currently streaming on JioHotstar in India. The movie also makes for an interesting Hathaway throwback, especially after the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2 earlier in 2026. The sequel is currently streaming on JioHotstar in India as well.
If you want something warmer before diving into the unsettling world of Verity, The Intern is a heart-warming and an easy pick. The Oscar-winning actress plays Jules Ostin, a successful founder of an online fashion company, who despite her busy schedule, finds friendship and support in Ben Whittaker, a 70-year-old widowers, portrayed by Robert De Niro. The film is all about work, ambition, and bonds that can form across generations.
The Intern is currently streaming on JioHotstar in India, with rental and purchase options also available through digital stores.
Hathaway takes on a very different kind of role in Ocean's Eight, the stylish heist film led by Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett. She plays Daphne Kluger, a glam and chic celebrity whose appearance at the Met Gala becomes central to an elaborate jewellery heist. The film combines fashion, deception, crime and an ensemble of characters who are constantly hiding their real intentions.
That element of deception makes it a fun pre-Verity watch, even though the tone is far lighter. Ocean's Eight is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime Video and JioHotstar in India.
Hathaway’s recent romantic drama The Idea of You showcases another side of the actor. She plays Solène, a 40-year-old single mother who unexpectedly falls for Hayes Campbell, a 24-year-old boy-band singer played by Nicholas Galitzine. It starts off as an unexpected romance, which suddenly turns complicated by fame, public scrutiny and their age difference. The film was released exclusively on Prime Video in India and remains available to stream there.
It is also directed by Michael Showalter, who later directed Verity, giving fans another reason to revisit it before the psychological thriller arrives.
One Day is another film to revisit of Anne Hathaway's. She plays the role of Emma Morley, opposite Jim Sturgess as Dexter Mayhew. The story follows the pair over the years, returning to the same date in their lives and showing how their relationship evolves as they grow older. The romantic drama gives Hathaway a more grounded role.
One Day is currently streaming on JioHotstar in India.
Lowen eventually discovers disturbing autobiographical material inside the Crawford home, forcing her to question what is real and what is fiction. The story revolves around secrets, manipulation and the increasingly blurred line between truth and deception.
