The cast will also include Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, Florence Pugh as Jean Tatlock, Matt Damon as Leslie Groves Jr., Emily Blunt as Kitty Oppenheimer, and Gary Oldman as Harry S. Truman. There will also be additional appearances by Kenneth Branagh, Rami Malek, Dane DeHaan, Alden Ehrenreich, Josh Peck, Alex Wolff, James D’Arcy, and many more.
Cillian Murphy Stars In Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer
The Oppenheimer movie will feature the life of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer who is known for inventing the atomic bomb. The story will focus on his personal and professional life as he is one of the main contributors to the Manhattan Project.
This research was conducted between 1942-1946 and centers on creating nuclear weapons. Oppenheimer was a director at the Los Alamos Laboratory, the facility where bombs are manufactured.
Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy will take on the character, his first-ever lead role in a Nolan-directed film. He has been in many of the director’s previous projects such as Inception, Dunkirk, and three Batman movies, among others. Murphy praised Nolan for his exceptional work; he told The Guardian:
“I’ll always turn up for Chris, whatever the size of the part. Chris will call me up and I’m there. Isn’t it wonderful that filmmakers are still making challenging, demanding films within the studio system, shot on film rather than Imax? I think he’s flying the flag.”
This proves that Murphy and Nolan have a good relationship, and they respect each other’s work. Oppenheimer is Nolan’s first movie not to be released by Warner Bros since 2000’s Memento.
