If Nolan ever does get around to a Tenet sequel, don't be surprised to see either of those two scenes being the movie's ending, thereby completing the cycle.11 years after the events of the first film, Dr. He’s present at the opera house and rescues the Protagonist (check out his red backpack cord) from an untimely death, presumably because he was told to be there at that exact moment to save him.
The more optimistic among us will have read that as Nolan planting seeds for a potential Tenet sequel or spin-off, one where the duo go globe-trotting and shut down several time-inverted sleeper cells.īut we’ve already seen part of what Neil is talking about. That’s because the (older) Protagonist will, after the events of Tenet, recruit a younger Neil and they’ll have plenty of “adventures” together in Neil’s words. Robert Pattinson’s Neil explains at the end of the movie that, while his journey is coming to an end, he’s already shared a long (and lively) friendship that The Protagonist has yet to experience. How’s that for a safety net? We might have already seen parts of the Tenet ‘sequel’ That's because precautions were put in place so that, should Kat have failed in stalling Sator, the pill wouldn’t have worked. After all, if it already had then the events of Tenet couldn't have happened because the past would have been wiped out. He could even have left it in his quarters on purpose while staying on Sator’s yacht.Įither way, the result is the same: The Algorithm was never going to activate. The Protagonist may have arranged for Sator to come into contact with what he thought was a working cyanide capsule, only for it to be a fake. However, we already know from the movie’s opening 20 minutes – after the Protagonist tried using his own CIA-brand suicide pill – that the CIA only use “test” pills that don’t actually work. Future Sator (who arrives on the boat and confronts Kat after Past Sator heads to the opera house to get a piece of the Algorithm), has a suicide pill he’s swiped from the CIA that will do the job nicely and ensure the future is saved. In the final act of Tenet, Sator reveals the ace up his sleeve: a kill switch that is tied to the Algorithm.

She only understands how to build the Algorithm because she taught herself. There, she gains a rudimentary understanding of time inversion and is also able to dedicate her life to the Algorithm in her later years. How so? She may have ended up researching and discovering it decades down the line and then sends that information back – either through an inverted person or other time inverted means – to her younger self. Nolan loves his exposition but, even then, Poesy’s character knows a little too much about time inversion. But we might have already seen its creator – the female scientist played by Clemence Poesy who appears at the beginning of the movie and explains time inversion to the Protagonist. That happens decades after the events of Tenet. Now, we know the Algorithm was invented by an unnamed female scientist who took her own life not long after she realised the power of her creation, hoping to take its secrets to the grave. The Algorithm is certainly powerful – it can destroy all of the past to save the future and its natural resources – but who invented it?
