Christopher Nolan on Robert Downey Jr. in Oppenheimer: “He’s one of the greatest actors of all time”
Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has a wildly impressive and star-studded cast. Leading is Cillian Murphy as the titular J. Robert Oppenheimer – often referred to as ‘the father of the atomic bomb’ for his part in creating the weapon. The Irish actor has always played (significant) supporting roles in Nolan’s films, from the Dark Knight trilogy to Inception and Dunkirk. While Nolan asserts that he tries to not have actors in mind while writing his screenplays, he admits that he’d been relishing the prospect of being able to offer Murphy a headline role.
