Correlation Between Tenet and Inception movie

Correlation Between Tenet and Inception movie

My theory is yes, the big twist at the end of Tenet will be it is in the same universe as Inception.

So how do I support this?

1. It makes narrative sense. Nolan wanting to combine his epic, original sci-fi action films to create a massive movie with both concepts combined is the exact sort of ambitious thing he would do.
2. It makes financial sense. A film that combined Inception and Tenet would make a killing at the box office.
3. It would get people talking. Nolan loves making people talk about the ending of his films. A great twist or ambiguous ending involving how the universes are combined is exactly something Nolan would jump at.
4. Michael Caine. He is Nolan’s diversion. In Inception, Caine was a wise, important professor. Most people would write off Caine’s involvement in both films as proof they aren’t connected. My prediction is that he is introduced in Tenet as an unnamed mentor. Only at the end will you realize it’s the same character he played in Inception.
5. Cillian Murphy? Tom Hardy? Joseph Gordon Levitt? All of the Nolan regulars that couldn’t go unnamed are suspiciously absent from the cast of Tenet. Either this is a coincidence, or they already have roles in Tenet’s universe.

So there we are. My theory, which is probably incorrect, is that everyone besides me will be shocked at the end of Nolan’s Tenet.
