The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Oscar nominee Florence Pugh (Little Women, Black Widow), Oscar winner Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody, No Time to Die), and Benny Safdie (Licorice Pizza, Obi-Wan Kenobi) have joined Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, a biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the development of the atomic bomb.
Murphy will portray Oppenheimer in the film, with Blunt playing his wife, Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer.
The new cast members will join Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., and Matt Damon in the project.
Oppenheimer is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and the late Martin J. Sherwin.
