I've seen some articles over the last few days implying that Christopher Nolan is being looked at to possibly direct something for Marvel. I'm not gonna link the articles here just because these sites are unreliable and I don't want to give them any more clicks than necessary (We Got This Covered and Giant Freakin Robot etc). Just google "Christopher Nolan Marvel" if you're interested.
Basically take this as exactly what it is; a rumour from some websites with lame track records
But I thought it would be interesting to see what films people would like him to direct if it were true. I've seen people say Daredevil, but I don't think I'd be interested in seeing him doing a character that's aesthetically similar to Batman (street level, realistic, grounded, Miller inspired etc). By far and away Nolan's most interesting work has been his sci fi for me, and I think he could do something like Hickman's House of X and Power of X really well: The high concept sci fi and ambition parts any way. One drawback is that I don't think he does emotional storytelling or character work very well, so i think we'd be sacrificing great character for great visuals/effects. In a similar vein I think his ideas on evolution would be great, but if he tried any thing to do with minorities /POC metaphors there would be some cracks - Just saying that based on the films of his I've seen. I also wouldn't mind seeing his take on things like Sentinels and the Government taking on Mutants.
I could also see him doing something like Earth X, but I can't imagine the MCU doing something like that at this point.
What would you guys think of a Christopher Nolan led Marvel (not necessarily MCU) film? Is there any property you'd specifically like to see his take on?
EDIT: Changed wording to make it clear it does not have to strictly be in the already established MCU - float ideas just based on characters you think would compliment his style well.
