\u201cHe\u2019s with us in spirit<\/strong>, but not an actual actor,\u201d Nolan began. \u201cHe wasn\u2019t able to join us for this one.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut he\u2019s always with us in spirit and, and I\u2019ve had the most wonderful collaboration with him over the years,\u201d Nolan continued. \u201cBut I know not a lot of people know that he\u2019s in Dunkirk!\u201d<\/p>\n

Nolan\u2019s final comment references Sir Michael\u2019s voice-only role in Dunkirk where he features as Fortis Leader, the pilot of one of the film\u2019s three Spitfires and the commanding officer of Tom Hardy\u2019s Farrier, Fortis One, and Jack Lowden\u2019s Collins, Fortis Two.<\/p>\n
