- Anne Hathaway said her doctor prohibited her from completing the 'Hot Ones' spicy wing challenge, warning it could trigger early labor during her pregnancy.
- Hathaway already filmed a 'Hot Ones' scene in character as Verity Crawford for the film, eating real wings for the first three before switching to dummies.
- 'Verity' marks Hathaway's fifth and final press tour of 2026, following 'Mother Mary,' 'The Devil Wears Prada 2,' 'The Odyssey,' and 'The End of Oak Street.'
- Hathaway and husband Adam Shulman are expecting their third child, with the actress planning months off after her whirlwind 2026 schedule wraps.
- Hathaway told Entertainment Tonight she returns to filming in March 2027 for 'Days of Thunder 2' alongside Tom Cruise.
- 'Verity' opens in theaters Oct. 5 from Amazon MGM.
Why it matters: Hathaway's pregnancy sidelines a coveted promotional stop at a moment when she's wrapping her fifth and final press tour of 2026 for 'Verity,' which Amazon MGM releases Oct. 5. Her March 2027 'Days of Thunder 2' start means roughly five months off-screen after 'Verity' opens — a notable gap for an actress who just completed five film campaigns in one year.
