Tenet is one of the most anticipated flicks of 2020, and while fans anxiously await until it hit theaters, they are doing everything they can to learn more and more about this sci-fi action flick. Directed by the brilliant Christopher Nolan, this cast has some very familiar - and some very new - faces.
It's set to premiere in September in the United States, so it's time to get to know everything out there about this flick, and that include its promising cast. For all movies to prepare and to satisfy their impatience, here are 10 things fans should know about the cast.
Robert Pattinson Is Gearing Up For Batman
Every fan of either Pattinson or Twilight alum has long since been criticized for his role as Edward Cullen. However, in the past few years, he's tackled so many serious roles - from action to thriller to drama.
This is just the final step before he adorns the Batman suit, and fans should be ready to be blown away by the pure talent of this actor. He has a starring role as Neil in Tenet, and it will not disappoint. Fans should dive into Good Time, The Lighthouse, and The King, too.
Michael Caine Is Also Lending Some Batman Expertise
Michael Caine is one of the most popular and talented actors of today, and with two Oscar wins under his belt, it's still hard not to associate him with The Dark Knight, where he starred alongside Christian Bale as Alfred.
This is a fun fact in itself, since he's ing Nolan once again, but it's also pretty awesome that he'll be starring with Pattinson - the next Batman. Christopher Nolan is definitely one for fun behind-the-scenes facts. He'll be playing Michael Crosby in this flick.
Elizabeth Debicki Was Included In 'The 50 Greatest Performances Of The Decade'
This is a pretty large feat for Debicki, who has yet to have her huge breakout role. While Tenet could be it, this is certainly not her first time on the big screen. In 2019, IndieWire ranked her at #32 on their list of the 50 Greatest Performances of the Decade!
She was included for her role in Baz Luhrmann's 2013 film adaptation of The Great Gatsby, where she played Jordan Baker. Clearly, she was on the radar nearly a decade ago, and she's only gone up since then.
John David Washington Is Fairly New To The Big Screen
Washington will be playing 'the protagonist' in Nolan's new flick, and fans are certainly already able to recognize his face from watching the trailers over and over. However, he's fairly new to acting! He only has 12 acting credits to his name, and fans likely know him from Spike Lee's BlackKklansman or the TV series Ballers.
However, he's already earned himself a Golden Globe nomination, for his stellar performance in Lee's film. It's safe to say that he will bring a lot to this role and the rest of his acting career. Movie lovers should definitely watch out for him.
Aaaron Taylor-Johnson Has Two Highly-Anticipated Flicks
Fans will likely recognize this handsome face from his role a Quicksilver in the Avengers franchise or his starring role in Kick Ass. However, this actor has far more to offer, and will be starring in two huge flicks.
With Tenet, he'll also be in The King's Man, the newest flick of that popular franchise. 2020 might just be this actor's lucky year, and there will certainly be more to come after these two flicks make it big later this year. He'll be playing Ives in Nolan's new film.
Kenneth Branagh Is A Five-Time Oscar Nominee
Branagh will be playing Andrei Sator in Tenet, but he's far from new to the big screen, especially when it comes to huge and critically-acclaimed flicks. He already has five Oscar nominations under his belt, for all kinds of things!
From Best Director AND Best Actor in Henry V to Best Short Film, he's also been nominated for Best Writing for Hamlet and Best Performance for My Week With Marilyn. He's been crushing it since the 1990s!
Clémence Poésy Is A French Television Actress
In most recent years, this actress has slayed on the small screen, with recurring roles in Genius and The Tunnel, the latter being an American series. However, this may have taken most of her recent time, but she has far more up her sleeve.
She was actually also in the Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire, which Pattinson was also in.
Pattinson Has Learned A Lot Of Skills For Filming
Before Robert Pattinson turned over to more dramatic and critically-acclaimed flicks, he was Edward Cullen in Twilight and Cedrick Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. For these roles, he learned how to scuba dive, and he even learned how to drive a car on the set of Twilight in only one crash course!
Fans should be anxiously anticipating what he brings to this action flick. For another fun fact, his role in the Safdie brothers' Good Time was actually written specifically for him, after he reached out in a shot in the dark.
Wes Chatham Is Bringing Another Famous Franchise Into The Mix
This actor is no longer a young buck, and at just over 30-years-old, he has 25 acting credits to his name. So far, he's had some casual one-time roles in a ton of different shows, but fans will probably only be able to recognize him from where he played Castor.
He'll be playing Sammy in Tenet, and this might finally be the push he needs to make it big in the industry. With this stellar cast and Christopher Nolan behind him, it's safe to say he'll make it happen.
Debicki Was Almost The Female Lead In Fantastic Beasts
For those that aren't super familiar with Debicki, she's been up for roles with everyone's favorite actresses. She was almost the lead in this Harry Potter spin-off flick, where she was up against Katherine Waterson and Kate Upton.
However, she is also known for beating out everyone's favorite actresses, like when she snagged the role in Charlize Theron. These are no small names in the industry, and this should definitely put Debicki's name on everyone's radar.
