John David Washington Wants to Make a ‘Tenet’ Sequel

By George Robbins

Christopher Nolan’s newest blockbuster film ‘Tenet‘ has had a lot going on with it recently with the way things currently are in theaters. When the movie released in theaters about a month ago, it started off pretty successful and it managed to rake in a fair bit both domestically and internationally given the current state of affairs. Unfortunately, what followed was nothing but a downturn, not only forth movie, but the theater industry as a whole. ‘Tenet’ has been getting nothing but mediocre returns at the box office ever since its first week domestically which is shaping the way theaters are handling things moving forward.

Despite the fact that the movie has been reviewed fairly favorably since release, it is still a tough situation for the studio moving forward. Theaters are more than likely actually going to shut down once again because they are now seeing what kind of affect the pandemic has had post-lockdown. Many customers are weary of actually going back out to see movies in an enclosed space with a bunch of other people around even if they are spaced apart from one another. Therefore, ‘Tenet’ is suffering and in the past couple of weeks the film has made a drastically smaller amount of money than when it first released. So it is sort of a surprise that the film’s star is now talking about wanting to be in a sequel for the film.

‘Tenet’ star John David Washington has made it known recently that he wants to actually be in a sequel to the film in the future. According to Washington, the film’s open ended conclusion left a door open for his character to appear in a sequel to the film. Therefore he actually wants to have a sequel for the film be made. Unfortunately, sequels won’t often get made for films that have had little to no financial success and this seems to be the route that this film is going in as of now. The film is still drastically shy of the massive $500 million before marketing that is needed just to break even. It is highly unlikely at this point that we will actually have the chance to see a sequel get made for the film.
