This week, it was announced that Christopher Nolan‘s upcoming movie, Tenet, has been delayed again due to the coronavirus pandemic. The movie was supposed to hit theaters on July 17th but has now been delayed to August 12th. However, considering the current peak in COVID-19 cases, movie fans aren’t convinced the two-week delay will be enough. In fact, many fans are now comparing the movie to The New Mutants. While Tenet still has a ways to go before it catches up to The New Mutants‘ delays, which began before the coronavirus and then continued through the pandemic, we’re inclined to agree with Twitter that the August 12th release date is wishful thinking.
In addition to the jokes about The New Mutants, the people of Twitter have also been writing some general hilarious posts about Tenet which range from jabs at Christopher Nolan’s filmmaking style to quips that it’ll be years before we ever get our eyes on the film. Here are some of the best tweets to hit Twitter once the latest Tenet news broke…
