Christopher Nolan repo🌃rtedly considered making a James Bond movie after Tenet. However, he ultimately turned down the offer when it was made clear he wouldn't have the final cut on the film.

According to into the news that Bond would be trဣansferring over to Amazon MGM 𝓀Studios, Barbara Broccoli was behind the decision. They wro❀te: "Broccoli made clear that no director would have final cut while Bond was under her purview". Instead, Nolan went on to make Oppenheimer, which became a box office hit and won the director a slate of Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.

Nolan has previously shared how 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:he ⛄would "love" to make a Bond movie, and is a huge fan of 007♏. Speaking on the back in 2023, he said: "The influence of those movies on my filmography is emb✤arrassingly apparent. And so there’s no attempt to shy away from that. I love the films. You know, it would be an amazing privilege to do one."

However, even at that time, he hinted at the limitations of working on the spy franchise. "At the same time, when you take on a character like that you’re working with a particular set of constraints," Nolan continued. "It has to be the right moment in your creative life where you can express what you want to express and really burrow into something within the appropriate constraints because you would never want to take on someꦬthing like that and do it wrong."
