Christopher Nolan is literally not turning any stone unturned in making his next big-budget event spectacle “Oppenheimer” any less than a starry affair for ages. Every week there’s a new addition to an already firecracker of a starcast and the latest to join is none other than the veteran and seasoned actor Gary Oldman. Gary Oldman reunites with Christopher Nolan after his Batman trilogy and recently revealed that he will appear in one scene of the director’s next event film.
Oppenheimer, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” by Kai Bird and late Martin J. Sherwin has Cillian Murphy playing the theoretical physicist Robert Oppenheimer whose work in the Manhattan Project led to the invention of the atomic bomb. He is credited as the “father of the atomic bomb”, for the good or bad. The film takes on the paradox that is the life of the eminent scientist who had to risk destroying the world amidst a World War in order to save it.
Gary Oldman joins a cast led by Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Rami Malek and Benny Safdie. Josh Hartnett, Dane DeHaan, Jack Quaid, Matthew Modine, Dylan Arnold, David Krumholtz, Alden Ehrenreich, David Dastmalchian and Jason Clarke also joined the cast.

Oldman revealed the news while speaking to a UK radio station TalkSport as a part of his promotional campaign for “Slow Horses”,the Apple TV+ spy series that recently premiered. He also said that he will shoot for the same in May. Christopher Nolan has penned the script for Oppenheimer himself and the film is currently looking for a worldwide release on July 21, 2023, around two weeks before the anniversary of Hiroshima Atomic bombing.
