Inception
A popular online theory point Christoper Nolan ’s high - conception sci - fi filmsTenet , Inception , andInterstellarare all related to , prompting a Nolan - connected world outside of hisDark Knighttrilogy . Nolan has a knack for mind - bending time and space - related scientific theories in his study , and these three motion picture are heavily entangled with these concepts . origin , Interstellar , andTenetshare eminent - conception solution for human beings , so the Nolanverse theory is a clever way to present fictitious humanity ’s worldwide struggles in an interrelated manner .
Inception(2010 ) stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Dom Cobb , a thief who , along with his team , steals data for clients from his victims ’ subconscious . Interstellar(2014 ) features Matthew McConaughey as Cooper , who alongside fellow astronauts must see alternate , viable planets to save humans from an apocalyptic Earth .

The first part of the Nolanverse theory ponder thatTenet ’s grapheme Neil - The Protagonist ’s case handler - and Barbara , the scientist who first explains the time selective information of future objects , are Dom Cobb ’s minor fromInceptiongrown up . Cobb ’s nestling were very young duringInception , but the young lady was obviously a few years older than the boy which does correlate to Neil being younger than Barbara . The characters also all have sandy brown hair in both picture , which is significant becauseTenet ’s casting description for Neilincluded a spec of light - brown hairsbreadth ( Robert Pattinson dyed his whisker for the role ) . The connection furthers by Barbara understandably being French ( play by French actress Clémence Poésy ) , and the children ’s female parent Mallorie was notably French ( played by Marion Cotillard ) .
TheTenetandInceptionlink is a slim stretchability unless the two kids ended up changing their names , view they are call Phillipa and James Cobb inInception , and Barbara and Neil inTenet . Although , since there are no given last public figure for the characters inTenet , it ’s entirely possible they changed their names follow their mother ’s death andDom ’s possible disappearance into a dream earth . It also would n’t make much sense for Barbara to adopt her mother ’s French accent while Neil has a British emphasis , unlike his American father . Unless the children were separated and raised in unlike country , theInception - Tenetlink is moderately loose .
TheTenet - Interstellarconnection is more plot of ground - ground , theorizingInterstellar ’s setting of the apocalyptical Earth is actuallyTenet ’s future , wherein the Time Bomb was created to destroy earthly concern and humanity because it became uninhabitable in the future . SinceTenet ’s Time Bomb was destroyed , the succeeding Earth would still be at its uninhabitable closing , which is on the dot Earth ’s fate inInterstellar . It ’s possible The admirer from the future decided to mastermind“Tenet ” and block Sator ’s Time Bombbecause he knewInterstellar ’s governing entities like NASA were already working on ways to move mankind off Earth .
Considering Nolan tends to apply the construct of human crisis in his story , TenetandInterstellar(and by extension , Inception ) may just be a shared theme of human beings ’s end and different reactions to it , rather than an actual world connexion . The protagonists ofTenet(The Protagonist and Neil ) andInterstellar(Cooper , Brand , and Murph ) all take a more affirmative view that they can use eminent - construct skill to save mankind from a go Earth . They both confront enemies to their near - hopeless missions;Tenet ’s Sator occupy matters into his own hands to make a Time Bomb and pour down human beings , whileInterstellar ’s Professor Brand and Dr. Manngive up on humans already inhabit Earth and sabotage the design to save them . consultation will have to hold off for Nolan ’s next sci - fi movie to see if Nolanverse connections are strengthened and confirmed .
