The film will feature a star-studded cast with Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh and Rami Malek along with Murphy. The movie is an adaptation of Oppenheimer’s biography titled ‘American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer’, which was written by Kai Bird and Martin J Sherwin.
This is the fourth film for the duo of Christopher Nolan and Cillian Murphy, before this, the duo worked on The Dark Knight films, Inception, and Dunkirk. In an interview with The Guardian, Cillian Murphy revealed that he did a lot of reading to play the character in the film. He added that he is interested in the man, but not in the technicalities of what and how he invented.
Christopher Nolan’s fans are reacting to the poster on Twitter as the wait is over now.
