It was back in 2023 when the director had told Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he was greatly influenced by films like James Bond.

As per the conversation, Nolan did not seem to mind directing a Bond movie if he were given the chance.

You’d have to be really needed, you’d have to be really wanted in terms of bringing the totality of what you bring to a character. Otherwise, I’m very happy to be first in line to see whatever they do.”
