Oppenheimerheads to theaters on July 21 , and the plaster cast is full of familiar faces .
July 21 is set to be a major day for film this year. That’s because two highly anticipated movies with star-studded casts are dropping on the same day:BarbieandOppenheimer.
Most moviegoers know a thing or two aboutBarbieby now. Hype for the movie is reaching a fever pitch, with the castjetting across the globeto promote the film atevents, ontalk shows, and inmagazine interviews.
The buzz forOppenheimeris high too, but the film doesn’t seem to be pumping out the same level of publicity asBarbie. Come to think of it, much of the promo so far for the film has focused onCillian Murphy, who plays the title character, J. Robert Oppenheimer.
The limited publicity, for now at least, is a bit surprising considering how many well-known actors — likeEmily Blunt,Matt Damon, and Robert Downey Jr. — are appearing alongside Cillian in the film, which chronicles the real-life story of Oppenheimer and a group of scientists who created an atomic bomb during World War II.
It’s not all that shocking that the film is filled with familiar faces. The movie is directed byChristopher Nolan, who routinely fills his films, includingThe Dark Knight,Inception,andTenet, with many recognizable names.
So, having now rambled enough, here are 17 actors you can expect to see inOppenheimer:
1.Emily Blunt
2.Matt Damon
3.Robert Downey Jr.
4.Florence Pugh
5.Josh Hartnett
6.Rami Malek
7.Alden Ehrenreich
8.Benny Safdie
9.Jack Quaid
10.Michael Angarano
11.Josh Peck
12.Kenneth Branagh
13.Alex Wolff
14.Jason Clarke
15.Tony Goldwyn
16.Casey Affleck
17.Gary Oldman
But that’s not all. Dane DeHaan, Gustaf Skarsgård, James D’Arcy, Matthew Modine, David Krumholtz, and so many other actors also appear in the film.
