Christopher Nolan Reiterates That He's Done With Superhero Movies

Christopher Nolan's Batman films are widely regarded as the greatest superhero trilogy of all-time, leading many fans to hope that the Dunkirk director will return to the genre one day.

Out promoting his latest thriller, the WWII epic Dunkirk, director Christopher Nolan revealed that he's seen Wonder Woman and loved the Patty Jenkins-directed pic but he's happy to be on the sidelines of the DCEU and the superhero genre in general.  

"I mean, I watch the films. I enjoy films very much as a moviegoer these days. I spent 10 years of my life dealing with one of the greatest characters in popular fiction. It was a great honor and a privilege to work with that, but there’s a time to pass it on to new people."

In fact, the current discussion seems to be whether Nolan will ever helm a 007 film, something the Batman Begins director previously expressed interest in long ago- however, he's recently disclosed that he's only interested if he can "reinvent the franchise."

Although Nolan is listed as a producer on Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, he had relatively very little to do with either film.  Unless something inexplicable occurs, don't expect to see Nolan tackling another superhero anytime soon.

@PantherKing - I'm good with this. He's a good filmmaker, I for one was not overly excited about his realism. I get enough of that in real life thank you. Comic books for me were a great escape from the everyday reality, I kinda like my CBM to be the same. I'm glad he brought seriousness to the Batman especially after the silly camping garbage. Now I would like to see the detective brought back in the character.

@Doomsday8888 - Agreed. There is no question in my mind that we wouldn't have had the DC Films Cinematic Universe without The Dark Knight Trilogy.

As much as I love TDK, I'm glad Nolan stepped off the CBM genre and made attempts into other genres - Sci-Fi (Interstellar) and Historial (Dunkirk).

These attempts are nothing short of masterpieces (judging by Dunkirk's initial reactions).

Thank you, Mr. Nolan!

@kylo0607 - Wouldn't really call Interstellar a masterpiece though.
