Between the positive reactions to OTT prime video superhero show The Boys, Star Trek: Lower Decks and the success of the latest Scream, Jack Quaid is having A Moment. That's set to continue, as he's the latest addition to Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer.
The Tenet director's latest finds him adapting the book American Prometheus: The Triumph And Tragedy Of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. It'll chart how Oppenheimer played a key role in the creation of atomic weapons, yet later came to have complicated feelings about their deadly power. He lobbied for international control of nuclear power and opposed the creation of the even more destructive hydrogen bomb.
Cillian Murphy is playing Oppenheimer, while Emily Blunt will be his wife, Katherine. The cast also includes Florence Pugh, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Rami Malek, Josh Hartnett and Benny Safdie. We don't yet know what role Quaid is taking, but given the size of the cast, he'll be lucky to get three words in.
Oppenheimer is targeting a July 21 release in 2023.
