Cillian Murphy will be in Christopher Nolan's new film and explains why he often works with the director.
If we review Cillian Murphy's career, we realize that he has worked on many occasions with Christopher Nolan, since he played Doctor Jonathan Crane / The Scarecrow in the Dark Knight trilogy (2005, 2008, and 2012), Robert Fischer in Origin (2010) and a soldier in Dunkirk (2017). Also, he will now star in Oppenheimer (2023). Therefore, in recent years he has only left him out of Interstellar (2014) and Tenet (2020).
In a recent interview, Cillian Murphy revealed why he always likes working with Christopher Nolan:
“I will always perform for Chris, whatever the size of the role. Chris will call me and I'll be there. Isn't it wonderful that filmmakers continue to make challenging and demanding movies within the studio system, shot on film instead of Imax? I think he is flying the flag. He, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Quentin Tarantino are fantastic filmmakers doing interesting work on a grand scale."
Also, Christopher Nolan always calls him because he usually works with actors he already knows and who give him good results.
What will Oppenheimer be about?
Christopher Nolan will present us with the story of Robert Oppenheimer, a theoretical physicist who is considered "the father of the atomic bomb" especially because he participates in the Manhattan Project. After seeing the devastating effects of it in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he dedicated himself to promoting countries' control over his nuclear arsenal.
Along with Cillian Murphy, the cast also includes Florence Pugh, Emily Blunt, Josh Hartnett, Jack Quaid, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Rami Malek, and Dane DeHaan.
In addition, Cillian Murphy will also premiere the latest season of the Peaky Blinders series very soon, where he shows all his talent and charisma playing Thomas Shelby.
