Florence Pugh Walks With Cillian Murphy In Oppenheimer Set Photo
A photo from the Oppenheimer film set shows actors Florence Pugh and Cillian Murphy walking together for a scene. Oppenheimer stars Murphy and Pugh in a biographical drama about the theoretical physicist who helped to create the atomic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer. Often called the “father of the atomic bomb," his research played a significant role in the Manhattan Project, an undertaking by the United States to create nuclear weapons in World War II. Authors Kai Bird and Martin J Sherman offer a compelling biography of Oppenheimer in their 2005 book American Prometheus, on which the upcoming film is based.
Helmed by acclaimed director Christopher Nolan, Oppenheimer features an impressively star-studded ensemble cast, illustrating the significance placed on the subject matter and its impending portrayal. Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh, and Alex Wolff are among the large number of notable actors appearing in the film. Murphy plays the titular role of Oppenheimer, and Pugh portrays American psychiatrist, physician, and Communist Party member Jean Tatlock, with whom Oppenheimer famously engaged in a romantic affair before and during his marriage with Kitty Harrison (played in the film by Blunt).
