*The second trailer for director Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” has dropped, featuring more insight into the time-bending storyline, starring John David Washington and Robert Pattinson.
“To do what I do I need some idea of the threat we face,” Washington’s character says in the trailer, via PEOPLE.
In the clip above, Pattinson’s character asks, “Why did you bring me in?” Washington says, “You really want to know? He can communicate with the future.”
“Time travel?” Pattinson asks, to which Washington responds, “No. Inversion.”
Pattinson and Washington star as two agents trained to stop World War III. The rest of the plot is on the low-low, but Nolan has described the movie as “an action epic evolving from the world of international espionage.”

“We’re jumping off from the point of view of an espionage film, but we’re going to a number of different places,” Nolan told Entertainment Weekly in December. “We’re crossing a few different genres in a hopefully exciting and fresh way. [Producer] Emma [Thomas] and I have put together a lot of large-scale productions, but this is certainly the biggest in terms of international reach.”
He added, “We shot in seven countries, all over the place, with a massive cast and huge set pieces. There’s no question, it’s the most ambitious film we’ve made.”
The “Inception” director also called Washington “very much the hero” of the film.
“He’s a massively talented actor and physically gifted,” he added. “He’s an athlete and pretty hard for anybody to keep up with, including the different vehicles we shot him from — cars and helicopters. This guy moves.”
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the closure of movie theaters across the nation, “Tenet” is still slated for theatrical release on July 17.
