Would ‘absolutely’ like to make more ‘Batman’ movies: Jonathan Nolan

When asked who he would like to see playing The Dark Knight in a newly launched Batman trilogy, Nolan said, “To me, it will always be Christian.”

Would ‘absolutely’ like to make more ‘Batman’ movies: Jonathan Nolan

British-American screenwriter and film producer Jonathan Nolan said he would like to return to the Batman universe.

During the promotion of his hit series Fallout, he spoke about revisiting the popular Batman franchise, according to The Hollywood Reporter.


"Wouldn't that be a dream?" Nolan said. "That period was 10 years of my life from when I got the call to work on Batman Begins, and it was epic. Working with Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and to honour an American icon. If I had the chance to go back and work on that again? Absolutely."

"We've moved onto other things," he added. "And, of course, other people have picked up the mantle and moved on with those characters," referring presumably to Matt Reeves The Batman franchise, which is set to release The Batman Part IIin 2026.

When asked who he would like to see playing The Dark Knight in a newly launched Batman trilogy, Nolan said, "To me, it will always be Christian."

Recently, Nolan reacted to Chris' crediting him with The Dark Knight's most famous line, "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

"It came later in the script," Nolan recalled. "We've done a version or two of the script where we were looking for something that would distill the tragedy of Harvey Dent but that would also apply to Batman. The richness of Batman is in the way this principled, almost Boy Scout-like figure is wrapped up in this kind of ghoulish appearance and his willingness to embrace the darkness. So I was looking at Greek tragic figures."

"The first part of that line is 'you either die a hero' -- and that part's important, because not everybody wants to be a hero; it's engaging in heroics that puts you in this space, where you have this binary outcome. The idea is that there are people who put themselves on the line, and so often that wager turns on them. It's also that old idea of absolute power corrupting absolutely. It felt particularly resonant with the tragedies of Harvey Dent and Batman. The fact that it resonates with people beyond the film is gratifying. I was proud of that line," he shared, as per The Hollywood Reporter.

Ibrahim Ali Khan’s fiery DM to Pakistani critic over ‘Nadaaniyan’ sparks social media uproar

Ibrahim Ali Khan has found himself at the centre of an online storm following his message to Pakistani film critic Tamur Iqbal. The critic had shared his blunt review of Ibrahim’s debut film Nadaaniyan, mocking not only the film but also taking a personal swipe at Ibrahim’s appearance. What followed was an angry message from the young actor that has since gone viral.

Tamur Iqbal had posted a story on Instagram, criticising Nadaaniyan for its performances and taking a dig at Ibrahim’s “huge nose.” While harsh reviews are common in the world of cinema, Ibrahim’s alleged reaction caught many by surprise. In a screenshot Tamur later shared publicly, Ibrahim appears to lash out, calling the critic “an ugly piece of trash” and threatening to “leave you uglier” if they crossed paths in person.

Millie Bobby Brown and the rise of cinema’s first ‘stream queen’ with 'The Electric State'

At just 21 years old, Millie Bobby Brown has already secured her place as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry. The star of Stranger Things, who first captivated audiences with her portrayal of Eleven, now finds herself at the forefront of Netflix’s most high-profile projects. However, her latest role in The Electric State, a mindbogglingly expensive Netflix sci-fi film, has sparked mixed reactions and raised questions about her trajectory as a ‘Stream Queen’ – a title that comes with both acclaim and criticism.

The Electric State, in which Brown stars alongside Chris Pratt, has not been warmly received by critics. Described by The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey as “punishingly obvious and completely incoherent,” the film’s one-star reviews have been echoed by many others. The movie, which centres around two hollow characters moving aimlessly through a barren plot, seems to be yet another forgettable venture in Brown’s recent streak of Netflix productions.
