Leonardo DiCaprio Reveals His Favourite Christopher Nolan Film

Leonardo DiCaprio has shared which Christopher Nolan movie he prefers, and it is not the widely acclaimed Inception. Although DiCaprio starred in Nolan's 2010 film Inception, he revealed in a recent interview that his top choice is The Dark Knight.

Speaking to Collider alongside his One Battle After Another co-star Benicio del Toro, DiCaprio confirmed his favourite Nolan film, with del Toro agreeing with the choice.

About The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight (2008) is the second film in Nolan's Batman trilogy and features Christian Bale’s Batman facing off against Heath Ledger’s Joker. It is regarded as one of the greatest superhero films ever made.

Upcoming Projects and Collaborations

DiCaprio is reportedly being considered for a sequel to the 1995 classic Heat, a film Nolan cited as an influence on The Dark Knight. The new movie is expected to tell a new story and may also star Adam Driver.
DiCaprio is also slated to reunite with Martin Scorsese on What Happens At Night, co-starring Jennifer Lawrence. The film is based on Peter Cameron’s 2020 novel and centers on an American couple who travel to Europe to adopt a baby but encounter mysterious individuals in a nearly deserted hotel.

"The Dark Knight is my pick," DiCaprio said, a sentiment echoed by Benicio del Toro.

Summary: Leonardo DiCaprio’s favourite Christopher Nolan film is The Dark Knight, not Inception, and he is involved in exciting upcoming projects, including a Heat sequel and a new film with Martin Scorsese.
