Tenet director Christopher Nolan stated that Elizabeth Debicki insisted on auditioning even though he certainly wasn't asking. Nolan told Variety that 'there's a certain level of actor who, as a director, you don't necessarily want to ask them'. However, Elizabeth Debicki wanted to, added Nolan.

He further said that he thinks it was important for her to know that she could do what he was looking for. Nolan then stated that Elizabeth came in and just blew everybody away. Furthermore, the director was all praises for Elizabeth as he said that she pulled off an incredibly challenging role. Speaking about her character in Tenet, Christopher Nolan stated that it's a very difficult character because she has to be extremely vulnerable and put upon. 

Meanwhile, Tenet also stars John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Dimple Kapadia, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Himesh Patel, Clémence Poésy, Michael Caine, and Kenneth Branagh among others. The movie has been receiving rave reviews from the audience. Speaking about the film, a Twitter user wrote, "Christopher Nolan’s latest took a while to get here but wow was it worth it.
