New details have emerged about The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan’s next movie. Earlier this month, it was reported that Nolan and Universal Pictures were collaborating on a new project that will star Matt Damon.

Christopher Nolan's new movie with Matt Damon landed at Universal after the director rejected Warner Bros.' offer to return to the studio.

As noted by Variety, all this drama reportedly stems from how very genuinely mad Nolan got at Warner, which had previously produced every one of his films since Insomnia, over their treatment of his 2020 sci-fi thriller Tenet.

Christopher Nolan left Warner Bros. due to prior issues and chose Universal for his film 'Oppenheimer', valuing creative control and marketing strategy over money. The decision paid off, with the R-rated film grossing approximately $976 million worldwide.

The next Christopher Nolan movie is a-go, but which of his regular actors will return for this forthcoming project?

Christopher Nolan is staying put at Universal, with the filmmaker setting his next film at his Oppenheimer studio. His Oppenheimer supporting player Matt Damon is also in talks to star in the feature, which has a release date of July 17, 2026, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Nolan was upset over how Warner Bros. handled theatrical releases in the midst of the pandemic. The post Warner Bros. tried to lure Christopher Nolan back with an enormous check appeared first on The Manual.
