Christopher Nolan was interested in making a Bond movie but was told he wouldn't have the final cut – so he made Oppenheimer instead

Christopher Nolan / Daniel Craig as James Bond.

Christopher Nolan reportedly considered making a James Bond movie after Tenet. However, he ultimately turned down the offer when it was made clear he wouldn't have the final cut on the film.

According to Variety's new report into the news that Bond would be transferring over to Amazon MGM Studios, Barbara Broccoli was behind the decision. They wrote: "Broccoli made clear that no director would have final cut while Bond was under her purview". Instead, Nolan went on to make Oppenheimer, which became a box office hit and won the director a slate of Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.
