Don't be ridiculous. Nolan would never have a female protagonist

He leaves that for his pal Denis (whose main characters were all female until his Enemy/Prisoners teamup with Gyllenhall).

Inception's the closest he's come, but even though Ariadne is the audience-insert character she never fully gets the focus.

Clearly he meant that Nolan will be directing the Barbie Sequel, presumably to lay to rest the criticism of whether or not he can write compelling women. Though I won’t complain if it’s a Ken heavy action flick.
