Robert Downey Jr. Has Tidy Grey Hair In New Nolan Movie Set Photos
New photos from the set of Christopher Nolan's upcoming war biopic Oppenheimer sees stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. in costume as J. Robert Oppenheimer and Lewis Strauss, respectively. Based on the biography American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the movie will follow the life of the titular American physicist and his work on the Manhattan Project, the enterprise that eventually led to the development of the first atomic bomb. Joining Murphy and Downey Jr., the cast is set to feature Emily Blunt as Katherine «Kitty» Oppenheimer, Matt Damon as Leslie Groves, and Florence Pugh as Jean Tatlock. With a projected release date of July 21 2023, Oppenheimer will be Nolan's second WWII drama after having scored his first Oscar nomination for Best Director with Dunkirk back in 2017.
Although filming for the WWII biopic is now underway, there is still much mystery surrounding Oppenheimer, with many of its cast members — such as Kenneth Branagh, Rami Malek and Gary Oldman — confirmed to be appearing in still-undisclosed roles. On top of this, precisely how much of Oppenheimer's life and what specific elements the movie will explore has also been kept relatively secret, although it will almost certainly look at the physicist's work on the Manhattan Project. However, as Oppenheimer continues shooting, various behind-the-scenes shots have gradually started to circulate online, including snaps of Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon and Emily Blunt onset, providing a more detailed look at the upcoming biopic.
