Filmmaker Chris Nolan kept a relatively steady ‘every two years’ cadence between his early films with “Batman Begins” being the sole exception.

From 2014’s “Interstellar” onwards, there’s been a steady three-year gap with “Dunkirk” in 2017, “Tenet” in 2020, “Oppenheimer” in 2023 and now “The Odyssey” this year.

Speaking with Today, Nolan says the gap until his next project will be even wider, saying it will be “at least” three years before he makes his next film.

The longer gap comes from the exhausting production of “The Odyssey”: “I definitely hit the limits of my own stamina and everybody’s stamina, I think. I mean, it’s The Odyssey, of course it should be difficult. We’re not doing the job right making a film of The Odyssey if it doesn’t seem difficult.”

With its critical and audience scores soaring, there’s a lot of talk swirling that “The Odyssey” will be a potential awards candidate so we may be seeing more Nolan in a few months either way.

“The Odyssey” is in cinemas now and is estimated to be heading for a $257 million worldwide opening weekend.
