Acclaimed film director Christopher Nolan has said he wouldn't rule out a return to the superhero movie genre.
Speaking to Time Out, the 44-year-old Dark Knight director said: "I think I had a great experience with the superhero genre and got to explore a lot of things, but it was a good decade of my life and I find it hard to imagine returning to it.
"But never say never."
Despite describing it as a "limitless genre", Nolan hopes that movie studios will start to expand their horizons.
He added: "Well, you know, as long as that's the ride people want, the studios will continue to offer it. I don't see it as a limited genre.
"If I did, I never would have worked for almost ten years in that genre. I think like any genre, like the Western, it has limitless opportunities. It's just about the audience's appetite.
"What's very important is that the studios be open to making other sorts of films at the same time."
Nolan's next movie, Interstellar, will be released on November 7.
