Watch This Before You See Tenet

Christopher Nolan is known for his secrecy almost as much as his filmmaking style. As such, information on his next project, Tenet, is scarce. If you're looking for answers, however, you've come to the right place. This is everything we know so far.

Christopher Nolan has been pretty consistent with his directorial schedule. Since his first ever feature Following, which was released in 1998 he generally puts out a new film every two or three years. Tenet, however, may be an exception to this pattern: with all of the release date disruptions so far in 2020 due to theater shutdowns and other crises, it's hard to say when the flick will actually land. Still, we've got our fingers crossed for some kind of summer release.

If that's the case, it looks like Tenet won't have much competition. At the very least, Nolan and company shouldn't have to face off with that box-office-dominating elephant in the room, by which we mean the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the first film of the MCU's Phase Four Black Widow now apparently arriving in November, the juggernaut franchise is leaving the summer season clear.

Christopher Nolan is pretty well known for putting together impressive casts with some of the biggest-name actors out there. That said, Tenet might surprise you a bit with its star. Leading the cast for the film is John David Washington, who has only appeared in a handful of films at this point. And though he's clearly the lead character, we don't really know what he does in the movie. After two trailers, we still don't even know his name.

It isn't like Washington is a completely unknown or untested actor. His short career has made a big impact. He has a recurring role as Ricky Jarret on HBO's Ballers, and he has appeared in films like Monsters and Men and The Old Man & the Gun. Oh, and he starred in a little film called BlacKkKlansman, which got him nominated for several acting awards, including a Golden Globe. And oh yeah, fun fact: he's also Denzel Washington's son. Make sure you watch this before you see Tenet!
