Christopher Nolan may return to Warner Bros. after his feud with the studio and the Oppenheimer-Barbie counterprogramming. Throughout his career, Nolan has primarily worked with Warner Bros., creating films such as The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, and Dunkirk. However, due to a public disagreement with the studio’s simultaneous release strategy on HBO Max during the pandemic, Nolan decided to work with Universal for his latest film, Oppenheimer. In response, Warner Bros. countered with Barbie.
In a recent interview with Variety, Nolan discussed the possibility of returning to Warner Bros. He stated that his feud with the studio is now resolved. When asked if he is open to working with Warner Bros. again, Nolan confirmed that he is. He also praised Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, as well as movie chiefs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy.
