Chris Nolan's Dunkirk Trailer: 8 Reactions You Need To Know

8. Three Aircrafts - New Recruits (For The Most Part)

Over the last nine years we’ve become au fait with certain well-known faces or specific ensembles as prerequisites for any big Nolan movie. Basically, if Michael Caine appears in it along with the star of the moment, there’s a 75% chance it’s from the director of The Dark Knight Trilogy. However, it looks like he is slowly drifting away from that eclectic formula, raising a vessel’s anchor while ready to open up new horizons.

The only familiar actors we’re seeing now are Tom Hardy and the underused Cillian Murphy (in what likely as not will be his first major role). With lots of fellow-countrymen, including the veterans Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance, meaning lots of cockney good luck charms, this flick seems five by five to lend some more welcome, promising variation.
