did the journalist specifically say that the film is a blockbuster? or that it's a big film? because this bale/friend director rumor could very well be about david o. russell. while russell's films don't qualify as big in terms of budget i do think they are big in status. his recent films have all had major star power and they've been oscar players. bale's already mentioned he and russell are looking to work together. in addition to that, de niro and lawrence have said the same thing. and if those three are going to be in the same project i think it qualifies as big.
there was a mention of an "older male co-star" in the nolan film so i guess bale could still play that part. though i wonder if "older" means the character is older compared to washington, pattison and debicki or just old in general. if it's the former bale qualifies as he's over a decade older than those three but if it's the latter then i don't think bale fits the part as 45 isn't old.

and also does not make sense if Bale was already in the movie, why not be announced yet?

We should probably start a prayer circle, it turns out to be Nolan ...

He said his next role is a musician. Any guesses?

I bet it is about a band so maybe the Beatles? George Harrison ?

I bet it is about a band so maybe the Beatles? George Harrison ? Fictional maybe? Seems flexible on what instrument he can play. Is Chazelle’s Babylon music related or just film related? Only one that came to mind.

to my understanding chazelle's babylon deals with the film world rather than the music world but it's always possible there's musician character in the mix. i doubt bale would be interested in doing a musical but there's a bunch of different music related biopics in the making so there's certainly many options available. but then the character could just as well be fictional. maybe scott cooper is interested in going back to his roots and wants to do another film about a musician. david o. russell's talked of his fondness for music so perhaps that type of film is something he'll want to tackle next. considering how bale's a big jimi hendrix fan the instrument in question could easily be an electric guitar. or maybe this satirical article wasn't satire after all.

Ugh what a bummer that he’s working with O. Russell again. I was hoping Bale would work with Mangold again or a different director.

Russel’s films have gotten annoying after The Fighter.

I wish he had more drive to work with different directors ... Cooper or O' Russell ... the prospect is not thrilling at all :/

I was hoping the music project was with Mangold.

i think both films bale's made with russell have been great. russell's probably a bit too concentrated on characters at the expense of plot but he does get great performances out of his actors. and bale probably enjoys working with an actor's director.
i too would like to see bale work with different filmmakers but he's often said that he can't control how a movie turns out and the only thing he can really take away from a movie is the experience of making it. he's enjoyed working with russell as well as other directors so he likes to repeat those experiences by working with them again.
it's evidently also pretty difficult to get bale to say yes to a project. he almost didn't do american hustle until (iirc) sibi talked him into it. even mangold had to really make an effor to convince him into doing ford v ferrari. if a director bale hasn't worked with before comes to him with a project and bale says no that director is probably going straight to another actor not knowing that if he'd been a bit more insistent bale might've said yes in the end. i mean bale even agreed to do terminator salvation after saying no to it multiple times. mcg kept going back to him until bale said yes. bale also first declined doing out of the furnace but once he found out scott cooper wasn't going to make it with another actor he agreed to star in it. the directors that know bale also know that it'll probably take a bit more cajoling to get him onboard a project while others probably won't want to play those games or don't know they need to in the first place and go to another actor so bale often ends up working with the same people.
