What is it about Christopher Nolan that lets him put together so many unbelievably star-studded casts? Is it because he’s one of the most popular and successful filmmakers working today, capable of carrying a superhero movie-like following even when he doesn’t make superhero movies anymore? Yes, probably.
We already knew that his upcoming World War II drama Oppenheimer about the development of the atomic bomb would star Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Cillian Murphy, and Emily Blunt, but now The Hollywood Reporter says he’s also throwing in Florence Pugh, Rami Malek, and Uncut Gems co-director Benny Safdie. Just let us check our notes and… Yep, that’s all of the famous people. Every last one.
