Warner Bros. Pictures has released an absolutely epic new trailer for Christopher Nolan's upcoming sci-fi action flick Tenet, offering a considerable amount of information regarding what the film is actually about, as John David Washington and Robert Pattinson team-up to stop something worse than World War 3.
However, the biggest development is undoubtedly an update on the release date, as WB and Nolan both reaffirm their commitment to a theatrical bow. Tenet is definitley "Coming to Theaters," but the film is no longer booked for July 17. With theaters still widely shut down across the globe due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, this may be all the confirmation we need to assume Tenet will ultimately be delayed into the fall, or possibly even 2021.
If/when Tenet is delayed, there has been some speculation that it could be moved to either August 14, which is currently occupied by Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman 1984, or to December 18, which is currently occupied by Denis Villeneuve's Dune, although nothing is official just yet.
The cast is headlined by John David Washington (BlacKkKlansman; Ballers), who is joined by Robert Pattinson (The Batman; Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Elizabeth Debicki (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2), Dimple Kapadia (Dil Chahta Hai; Dil Aashna Hai), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Avengers: Age of Ultron; Kick-Ass), Clémence Poésy (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; In Bruges), Himesh Patel (Yesterday; Avenue 5), Michael Caine (The Dark Knight; The Prestige), and Kenneth Branagh (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets; Murder on the Orient Express).
John David Washington is the new Protagonist in Christopher Nolan’s original sci-fi action spectacle “Tenet.”
Armed with only one word—Tenet—and fighting for the survival of the entire world, the Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time.
Not time travel. Inversion.
The international cast of “Tenet” also includes Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Dimple Kapadia, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Clémence Poésy, with Michael Caine and Kenneth Branagh.
