Over the past few months, the cast of Christopher Nolan's new film has gradually started coming together, with a few new faces joining the director's roster of talent, and at least one familiar one as well.

The first name to be revealed was John David Washington, with the BlackKklansman star's casting announced back in March. Shortly after, it was reported that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2's Elizabeth Debicki and apparent soon-to-be Batman Robert Pattinson had joined the film as well.

With the film's production now underway, the cast has been rounded out further. Joining those three are Kenneth Branagh (Dunkirk), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass), Clémence Poésy (Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter), Hindi film star Dimple Kapadia, and, of course, Michael Caine, who has been in every Nolan film in some capacity since Batman Begins (you've got to listen for him in Dunkirk).

That's a very solid lineup so far, with Washington believed to be leading the ensemble, and it's likely we'll get at least a couple more names over the next few months.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
