Oppenheimer | Cillian Murphy, Christopher Nolan | 21 July 2023

The ensemble for Christopher Nolan’s next film Oppenheimer keeps growing in star power as sources tell Deadline Matt Damon and Robert Downey Jr. are in talks to join Cillian Murphy in the Universal Pictures tentpole. Deadline previously reported that Emily Blunt is in talks to join the cast as well. Nolan is writing and directing the film that revolves around J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist who ran the Manhattan Project that led to the invention of the atomic bomb. The film will bow on July 21, 2023, a slot typically saved for Nolan films in the past. Details behind who Damon and Downey will be playing in the project are being kept under wraps.

 
Florence Pugh (Black Widow, Midsommar), Rami Malek (No Time to Die, Bohemian Rhapsody) and actor-filmmaker Benny Safdie (Licorice Pizza, Good Time) are the latest additions to the cast of Christopher Nolan’s new film Oppenheimer, sources have confirmed to Deadline.

While Universal declined comment, Pugh, Malek and Safdie will join a cast led by Cillian Murphy that also includes Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr and Emily Blunt.

Pugh will play Jean Tatlock, a member of the Communist Party of the United States who had an affair with Oppenheimer, while Safdie will be Hungarian physicist Edward Teller, who was involved with the Manhattan Project and is known as the father of the hydrogen bomb. We hear that Malek will be playing another scientist, but no specifics have been disclosed.

 
Dane DeHaan, who played the Green Goblin opposite Andrew Garfield in Amazing Spider-Man 2, has joined the glowing cast of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan's star-stuffed biopic on J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the fathers of the A-bomb.

Nolan wrote the script and is directing the feature project, which is gearing up for a shoot in New Mexico.
