Nolan's loyalty for Murphy
Upon being asked about this experience of being with him, Murphy described his side of the story from the shooting days of Batman.

The actor added that "So we spent a lot of time just working on that, and it was a very exciting time for me to be working on something like that, of course, but to also be working with such a gifted director. It began the start of a relationship, and now I’m just about to start working with him on Dunkirk. It’s worked out really nicely for me. He’s been very loyal to me over the years."
