Christopher Nolan coming to the MCU? Probably not, but let's discuss!

[TooFlyToFail]

Wouldn't make any sense for him. He's very hands on as a producer-director type and thus is used to having almost 100% control of every aspect of film development. Someone said it could be political, to play hardball WB, but why go to someplace that would handcuff you...rather than Paramount or Universal?

Honestly, I think he'll see the Snyder cut success, as an avenue to get more leverage...since he was always against the Whedon cut, and it could give him a different place to explore his creativity. That and WB will probably be desperate to keep both him and Denis in their stable, so there's probably no need for hardball play. They both talked mess openly, because they know WB will bend for them. If they leave, WB will have trouble courting other talent.

He did his super hero movies. He is too good a film maker to not pursue his own projects. It would be a waste of his talents to return to super hero properties.

Not really a waste. If he did it, he'd get full control and he'd get a favor in his back pocket. That's how he got to make Inception and Dunkirk.

If he did make a CBM, I'd love to see him do a Mister Miracle or a Mr. Terrific movie. His sensibilities and style fit those. Hopefully the Ava Duvernay New God's movie isn't happening, cuz Denis would be perfect for that.

^^^I would think its going to blow chunks.
The Nolan Batman movies were awful, and i am very careful to differentiate between "awful" and "i didnt like it". The only things i enjoyed in those movies were a handful of specific performances.

...

Why do I need Nolan to make me a "Grounded..." MCU film when I already have a perfectly good Punisher: War Zone?

Tell Nolan to get back on the bench.

How grounded should an MCU film be? I can see it for FaWS, but less so for Armor Wars and even less for CM2.

Spider-Man - It'd have to be better than what the MCU has done with Peter in his solo movies to date, and it would be so nice to look forward to my favorite Marvel character in film again...

Since their "Dark Universe" failed Universal has decided to focus more on director driven/vision movies of their classic monsters. I'd love a Nolan helmed Frankenstein or Wolf Man.

Why aren't you a big fan of this direction, if I may ask?

Pete Wisdom. The MAX mini from a few years ago could be something I can use him doing.

Nolan is a big Bond fan and Tenet was a Sci-fi take on a Bond flick. So Wisdom feels up his alley.

You can look it up on CBR's post search, I've discussed it often enough I don't feel like doing it again. Suffice it to say, MCU Spider-Man is very much the weakest Spider-Man films to me. Just...so disappointing.

Nolan adapting Gravity could be fun. Plus Gravity doesn't have a lot of story arcs or expectations to meet. Its a way to get a Nolan-esque take on Spiderman without sacrificing Spidey's brand etc.

No problem. I have problems with them but I also feel they do a lot of things better than the older films.

Pete Wisdom is an X-Men character and a very complicated one, I think Nolan will want his own vision, very much like James Mangold wanted with Logan.

Wisdom is actually easier to sum up than Logan or the other X-men. Wisdom is just James Bond with Superpowers. Everything is just set dressing or to be scrapped/simplified etc.

Plus if you want uncomplicated characters then don't bother with the X-men. They are the proverbial Gordian knot.

[BeastieRunner]

I could totally see him doing a Gravity or Wisdom movie now.

Now I want to see those ...
