Have people mentioned this before? Is this new? So far him and Dourif are the only ones with names...And the names are like something out of a Kojima game.
If the rumors are to be believed, R. PAt's name is Rookie. So we have a Rookie, a Junior, and a Wheeler.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson as joins the cast of Tenet
It's funny, now the name Rookie has disappeared from Pattinson's credit and we have Aaron as Junior. I also think Wheeler isn't a coincidence that it references the interpretation to the sator square being a wheel about time (also reference merry-go-round)A Borges man wrote: ↑May 30th, 2020, 12:51 amJust browsing the IMDB page for Tenet, and noticed that Aaron Taylor-Johnson's has a character name "junior".

"Wheeler" definitely feels like Diorif's character will be very linked to the time inversion stuff...but these I am curious about why these names are so literal and obtuse at the same time. I can't imagine these being the actually character names.intersteIIarx wrote: ↑May 30th, 2020, 2:28 amIt's funny, now the name Rookie has disappeared from Pattinson's credit and we have Aaron as Junior.

Also:
Well... if this all turns out to be true, you can all say to me that you all "told me so", but...
Also also, don't forget that kind of anyone can edit IMDb (right?).
I don't buy the in spoiler mentioned theory, just thought i'd throw it out there because the name was funny in that context. I really, I'm not really a theory person, I'm a wait for the movie and watch it type.
The sator square element I think is just a great thematic jumping off point, it makes sense as like an extra-textual reference. I don't believe it will literally be there in the movie...like imagining John David Washington trying to create a new element with science machines, looks around a room, sees the Saitor square and then comically uses it to balance out the hobble in a machine...I doubt it.
