After recently moving the film to August 12, Warner Bros. Pictures has now released a pair of new theatrical posters for Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated Tenet, which appears to further demonstrate some of the effects of inversion.

As you can see, the one-sheet depicts what appears to be a slightly older Protagonist (John David Washington) when compared to the version in the mask or on the original teaser poster.

Plot details remain mostly under wraps, but the story is said to incorporate a heavy dose of time travel as the Protagonist races against time itself to prevent the start of World War III.

The cast is headlined by John David Washington (BlacKkKlansmanBallers), who is joined by Robert Pattinson (The BatmanHarry 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 UltronKick-Ass), Clémence Poésy (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; In Bruges), Himesh Patel (YesterdayAvenue 5), Michael Caine (The Dark Knight; The Prestige), and Kenneth Branagh (Harry Potter and the Chamber of SecretsMurder 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.

Nolan wrote and directed the film, utilizing a mixture of IMAX® and 70mm film to bring the story to the screen. “Tenet” is produced by Emma Thomas and Nolan. Thomas Hayslip served as executive producer.

Nolan’s behind-the-scenes creative team included director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema, production designer Nathan Crowley, editor Jennifer Lame, costume designer Jeffrey Kurland, visual effects supervisor Andrew Jackson, and special effects supervisor Scott Fisher. The score is composed by Ludwig Göransson.

“Tenet” was filmed on location across seven countries.

Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Syncopy Production, a Film by Christopher Nolan, “Tenet.” Warner Bros. Pictures is distributing “Tenet” worldwide and has slated the film for a July 17, 2020 release.

Too bad they will soon most likely have to change the date on them...

I REALLY hope I am wrong...

A pretty generic poster treatment. All the usual design cliches - teal & orange, sparks, etc.

The Marketing Budget must be more than the movie cast at this point

Looks like most of Nolan's movie poster from TDK forward. Guy stands in street, sometimes holding a weapon, while world around him crumbles, maybe some sparks. Rinse, repeat. Pretty sure the TDK Joker poster is the same as the Inception poster with Leo on it.

I can't wait for the film but those posters looked like they came straight from early 2000s.
