'Tenet' and 'Wonder Woman 1984' delayed by Warner Bros.

Not unlike other movies by Nolan, the plot details of Tenet have been kept under wraps.

The only thing that's clear is that David Washington's secret agent character, called The Protagonist, has been tasked with preventing another World War.

The movie also stars Elizabeth Debicki, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Kenneth Branagh, Michael Caine, and Dimple Kapadia.

Nolan is the writer, director, and co-producer of the movie.

Talking about the new release date for Tenet, Toby Emmerich, Chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, said, "We're especially thrilled, in this complex and rapidly changing environment, to be bringing Christopher Nolan's Tenet to theaters around the world on July 31."

"It has been longer than any of us could have imagined since we have seen a movie on the big screen," he added.

On the date that Tenet was originally planned to release, i.e., July 17, theaters have decided to re-release one of Nolan's biggest hits, Inception, to celebrate the iconic movie's 10th anniversary.

"To acknowledge Chris' (Nolan) fans as we count down to Tenet's opening day, we are also excited to offer his masterpiece Inception in theaters for its 10th anniversary on July 17," Emmerich said.

Apart from Tenet, Warner Bros. has also pushed the release date for DC superhero movie Wonder Woman 1984 by nearly two months, from August 14 to October 2.

This is the second shift for the film, that was originally slated to hit theaters on June 5 but was delayed due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.

The Patty Jenkins-directorial stars Gal Gadot in lead.
