Christopher Nolan Teases New Oppenheimer Trailer Coming Very Soon
A new trailer for Christopher Nolan's next blockbuster is apparently on the way. On Wednesday, ComicBook.com was on hand for Universal Pictures' panel at CinemaCon 2023, where Nolan teased that a new trailer for Oppenheimer will debut alongside the theatrical release of next week's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Oppenheimer has already caught movie fans' attention for its unconventional marketing, including a real-time timer counting down to the summer 2023 release date.
What is Oppenheimer about?
Oppenheimer follows the life of theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory during the Manhattan Project, and his contributions that led to the creation of the atomic bomb.
The film is set to star Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, Emily Blunt as Katherine "Kitty" Oppenheimer, Matt Damon as Leslie Groves, Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, Florence Pugh as Jean Tatlock, Benny Safdie as Edward Teller, Michael Angarano as Robert Serber, Josh Hartnett as Ernest Lawrence, Dylan Arnold as Frank Oppenheimer, David Krumholtz as Isidor Isaac Rabi, Matthew Modine as Vannevar Bush, Josh Peck as Kenneth Bainbridge, Devon Bostick as Seth Neddermeyer, Matthias Schweighöfer as Werner Heisenberg, Christopher Denham as Klaus Fuchs, Guy Burnet as George Eltenton, Danny Deferrari as Enrico Fermi, Emma Dumont as Jackie Oppenheimer, Gustaf Skarsgård as Hans Bethe, Trond Fausa Aurvåg as George Kistiakowsky, and Gary Oldman as Harry S. Truman.
Cast members also include Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh, Dane DeHaan, Alden Ehrenreich, Jack Quaid, David Dastmalchian, Jason Clarke, Alex Wolff, and Olivia Thirlby.
"It's a story of immense scope and scale," Nolan previously said of the film in an interview with Total Film late last year. "And one of the most challenging projects I've ever taken on in terms of the scale of it, and in terms of encountering the breadth of Oppenheimer's story. There were big, logistical challenges, big practical challenges. But I had an extraordinary crew, and they really stepped up. It will be a while before we're finished. But certainly as I watch the results come in, and as I'm putting the film together, I'm thrilled with what my team has been able to achieve."
