Christopher Nolan has given us a few hints as to what to expect from Robert Pattinson’s and Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s roles in Tenet.

Since Tenet‘s first trailer debuted, there has been a lot of speculation as to just what the film is about and why certain things are going in reverse time. The only character who we seem to know anything about is John David Washington’s protagonist who seems to be something of an audience point of view character. However, we know very little about Robert Pattinson and Arron Taylor-Johnson’s roles in the upcoming film, but apparently this was by design.

While speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Christopher Nolan dropped a single, confusing hint regarding the identity of Robert Pattinson’s character and how no one was really sure about them:

“We think he might be called Neil. You never really quite know what’s going on with these identities.”

Later on, he talked a bit about Aaron Taylor-Johnson role in Tenet and says he plays an important role in the film:

“Aaron Taylor-Johnson is indeed in the film. He’s an important part of the film. Yes, there are no photographs of him, this is true. He is briefly glimpsed in the [second] trailer. He’s also completely unrecognizable. There are all kinds of things that happen in terms of where the story goes as the film develops and where it winds up in the later stages that we don’t want to spoil for people.”

What do you all make of Christopher Nolan’s words? What kind of characters do you think Robert Pattinson and Aaron Taylor-Johnson will play in Tenet? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Here’s the official synopsis for Tenet:

“John David Washington is the new Protagonist in Christopher Nolan’s original sci-fi action spectacle “Tenet.” Armed with only one word—Tenet—and fighting for the survival of the entire world, the Protagonist journeys through a twilight world of international espionage on a mission that will unfold in something beyond real time. Not time travel. Inversion.”

Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, Tenet stars John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Dimple Kapadia, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Clémence Poésy, Michael Caine, Kenneth Branagh, and Himesh Patel. Christopher Nolan also serves as a producer alongside his wife Emma Thomas, with Thomas Hayslip on board as an executive producer.

Tenet is currently set to be released on July 31st, 2020. Stay tuned for all the latest news on Tenet and be sure to subscribe to Heroic Hollywood’s YouTube channel for more great video content!
