The British actor being part of the preeminent British spy franchise would be a perfect closer on a stellar career, and given his affiliation with Nolan, it's entirely believable. It wouldn't need to be a big role: just give audiences one last chance to see Caine on the big screen.
Michael Caine has been a mainstay of many of Nolan's films from 'Batman Begins' to 'Tenet.' Caine stated in a 2023 interview with BBC Radio that he has retired from acting, but if he were to give one last hurrah, a Nolan Bond movie would be the perfect place. There's one particular piece of casting we'd love to see. Currently you are able to watch 'Casino Royale' streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Stan. Plenty of other actors would jump at the opportunity to work with Nolan, even without dipping into his usual favorites like Cillian Murphy. Casino Royale - watch online: stream, buy or rent. Robert Downey Jr., who starred in 'Oppenheimer,' told On Demand Entertainment about being offered the part, 'Can you imagine if Chris Nolan called you and said he wants you to be in his movie? You kind of go numb and then you're just nodding your head.' And that's Downey, one of the biggest actors of this era. That's not even getting into how impressive the supporting cast would be.
