Inception
Inceptionstar Joseph Gordon - Levitt has shot down a devotee ’s dreams of seeing a subsequence to Christopher Nolan ’s modern sci - fi classic on Twitter . exhaust in 2010 , the celluloid is one of the most successful offerings of the decade , gross $ 825.5 million at the worldwide box office and take in a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars ( among several other accolades ) . An original studio tentpole , Inceptionproved that Nolan ’s name alone could deal a major question picture , and Warner Bros. was obviously pleased with the results . The studio apartment has had a longstanding family relationship with the manager , andInceptionno doubt played a goodish role in cementing that partnership .
As presented , Inceptiontells the story of Cobb ( Leonardo DiCaprio ) , an experienced extractor who takes one last job to get back home to his children . The film ’s now - ill-famed ending showed Cobb having a well-chosen reunification with his family line , and the book seemed to be close . Of course , given how acclaimed and popularInceptionis ( plus , the world - building that was on display ) , it stood reasonableness to think WB would be concerned in a continuation . Many long time ago , the main castwas reportedly signed on for potential followup , but it depend like that will never come into fruition .
When ask about the possibility of anInception 2on Twitter , Gordon - Levitt ( who played Cobb ’s right hand man Arthur ) laughed the head off as a style of indicating he wo n’t be take back to the world of dreams soon . see out his interaction with a fan in the quad below :

It ’s well-off to see why viewing audience would want to go back to sleep and wander through limbo , asInceptionsported fun character dynamic ( Arthur ’s banter with Tom Hardy ’s Eames was amusing ) and a creative band - up with on the face of it unlimited potential . However , those who madeInceptiondon’t seem to be give further risky venture any sentiment . In a way of life that makes sentiency , as the film is very much a ego - contained story with a beginning , mediate , and end . The final tantrum left Cobb ’s ultimate destiny open for interpretation , but it did n’t exactly allow for thing opened for another motion-picture show . Plus , continuing the narrative of Cobb would threaten to subvert the compass point ofInception ’s closing shot and sap it of its emotional resonance . For once in Hollywood , a character ’s " last occupation " was actually their swan song as they bait off into the sundown .
As conductor of the famedDark Knighttrilogy , Nolan is no unknown to doing sequel , but outside of Gotham City , he ’s content with helming standalone moving picture that are n’t entail to engender franchise ( see : InterstellarandDunkirk ) . He ’s evidence himself to be an ambitious voice in the industry , and unless he comes up with a rock - solid idea for a secondInception , many would prefer he continues to make original film . Also , key member of theInceptioncast have move on to other endeavors . Hardy is playing Venomfor Sony in their blossoming moonshine Spider - Verse andDiCaprio is circling a wide variety of projectsto follow-up his Oscar - gain turn inThe Revenant . At least audiences will always have the first and onlyInceptionto revisit whenever they please , which continues to address some seven old age later .
