Tom Hardyexpresses his enthusiasm towards working withChristopher Nolanagain.Hardy previously worked with Nolan on three films, includingInception,The Dark Knight Rises, andDunkirk. Since their last collaboration, Nolan has directed two completed movies. These includedTenet, which had a lackluster response to its 2020 release, andOppenheimer, which went on to win Best Picture. Now,Nolan is currently adaptingThe Odyssey,while Hardy was inVenom: The Last Dancelast year and is inMobLandandHavocthis year.

In an interview withScreenRant’s Liam Crowley for his new showMobLand, Hardy addresses the possibility of working with Nolan again. When asked whether he would like to pair up with theDunkirkdirector a fourth time,he would “love to” but did not seem convinced that it would happen, noting, “you never know if he will or not.” Check out the exact quote from Hardy below:

Oppenheimer, The Dark Knight, and Inception

“I’d love to work with Chris again, but you never know if he will or not.”

What This Means For Tom Hardy And Christopher Nolan

Nolan Has Star-Studded Movies

Nolan is known for collaborating with the same cast members, and that list has been gradually increasing. This list includes Hardy, Best Actor winner Cillian Murphy, and French actor Marion Cotillard. However, unlike directors like Wes Anderson,Nolan is less consistent about who he casts.A star may be a lead in one Nolan movie, and never appear in another (e.g. Matthew McConaughey). Another case would be that Nolan cast actors like Matt Damon, who played smaller roles in past films, and positioned them as leads, as he did withThe Odyssey.

All 12 Christopher Nolan Movies Ranked Worst To Best

Christopher Nolan is one of the most acclaimed, distinctive filmmakers of his generation. Here’s our ranking of his films from worst to best.

Hardy has a chance to work with Nolan again.For instance,The Dark KnightRisesco-star Anne Hathaway last collaborated with Nolan in 2014’sInterstellarand didn’t work with him for over a decade until recently withThe Odyssey. In addition, Hardy has had memorable appearances in his movies, including his Bane portrayal and a key role as pilot Farrier inDunkirk,so the director may have a lot of faith in him in general. However, in the meantime, if Hardy is ever considered for another Nolan movie, it probably won’t happen for another few years since the director is currently invested inThe Odyssey.

Our Take On Tom Hardy Appearing In More Nolan Movies

Hardy Is An Asset To His Films

Hardy is one of the best actors that directors like Nolan can ask for. He may have only been nominated for a single Academy Award (for his supporting role inThe Revenant), but he has sustained multiple impressive roles both in and outside Nolan’s oeuvre. Evidenced by his work inMad Max: Fury RoadandVenom, Hardy knows what it takes to carry a blockbuster film while also possessing the necessary tools to give nuanced performances. With their shared penchant for moneymaker movies,HardyandNolanwould be a great duo to team up again.
