While Christopher Nolan‘s fantasy epic The Odyssey just started smashing box office records in its first weekend in theaters, moviegoers are already asking what could be next for the legendary director. Dating back to his near-perfect superhero movie The Dark Knight, every Nolan film has become a global cinematic event, and thus far he has not disappointed audiences. The Odyssey is on pace to shatter Nolan’s personal record at the box office, which was previously held by his historical biopic Oppenheimer, and it has just as good a chance to chase down Oppenheimer during awards season as well.
