There really isn't a big, controversial reason for her departure from the series. There weren't any reports of enmity between her and other cast members on set, or with production, or with director Christopher Nolan, either. Holmes states that while she had a great time on the first film, she had wanted to pursue other career opportunities at that point.

She said, "[I] really enjoyed working on the first one [and it was] a decision that I made at that time and it was right for me at that moment."

Nolan even provided a classy response when addressing the replacement. Obviously, a director wouldn't be thrilled that one of his main actors, especially one who portrays a character as important as Rachel in the narrative, dropped out, but the Tenet creator said, "these things happen, and I was very, very fortunate that Maggie [Gyllenhaal] was able to take it over."

Katie went on to say that she thought Maggie did "a wonderful job" and added, "But I really hope that I get to work with Chris someday." She hasn't appeared in any of his productions since.

Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated spy flick, Tenet, which stars John David Washington and Robert Pattinson, has suffered a series of theatrical pushbacks in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

With a budget of $200-225 million, the film was one of Warner Bros. most highly anticipated, A-ticket properties. And while it seems like theaters will still be closed over most of the country, the studio will be looking to VOD for profits.

There could be life for films when it comes to pay-for-streaming: VOD sales for Trolls: World Tour outdid the first movie's box-office success.

Still, watching a Nolan flick on the big screen is somewhat of an experience, to say the least, and even though Costco's got some great sales on flat screens, there's something to be said about heading to the cinema to see the man's work play out. Will you be catching Tenet at home? Or are you gonna head to one of these seven states to watch the flick? I'll go to Arizona, I don't care.
