Christopher Nolan gives thumbs-down to doing superhero trilogies

Christopher Nolan's Batman saga ended with 2012's Dark Knight Rises, with the director explicitly denying ever returning to any superhero trilogy.

Speaking to YouTuber HugoDécrypte, the director was asked whether he would recreate his Batman magic again in another superhero film.

“No," Nolan stated tersely.

Previously, the Batman star Christian Bale revealed he would wear a cape again if Nolan helmed the project.

"I had a pact with Chris Nolan," he told Screen Rant last year, adding, "We said, 'Hey, look. Let's make three films if we're lucky enough to get to do that. And then let's walk away. Let's not linger too long.'"

"In my mind, it would be something if Chris Nolan ever said to himself, 'You know what, I've got another story to tell.' And if he wished to tell that story with me, I'd be in," Bale added.

In other news, Nolan has cast his daughter Flora Nolan in his upcoming war-epic, Oppenheimer.

During an interview with The Telegraph, the auteur explained that she appears in a vision of J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), in which she fully melts in a nuclear explosion.

"We needed someone to do that small part of a somewhat experimental and spontaneous sequence. So it was wonderful to just have her sort of roll with it," Nolan shared.
