Oppenheimer is Nolan’s debut film for Universal, and it marks the end of his association with Warner Bros. The arrangement between Nolan and Universal made headlines because of his demands, which included an exclusive 100-day theatrical run, a $100 million marketing budget, a $100 million production budget, and complete creative freedom.

Cillian Murphy has been revealed to join the cast of the picture as the eponymous character, while Emily Blunt is also said to be in the cast. If negotiations go well, Matt Damon and Robert Downey will join Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy in the film about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientist who oversaw the Manhattan Project, which resulted in the development of the atomic bomb.

Aside from Murphy’s titular character, Blunt will play his wife, Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer, according to the outlet. Downey will play Lewis Strauss, the Atomic Energy Commissioner who spearheaded hearings that questioned Oppenheimer’s loyalty to the United States. Damon will play Lt. Gen. Leslie Groves, the director of the Manhattan Project, while Downey will play Lewis Strauss, the Atomic Energy Commissioner who spearheaded hearings that questioned Oppenheimer’s loyalty to the United States.

The moral complications of developing an atomic weapon appear to be the focus of Oppenheimer’s film, and it will be intriguing to see how the star ensemble fits into that narrative. It’s also worth noting that Nolan has complete creative control over Oppenheimer, bolstering the notion that the director will go to great lengths to make the tale work.
