Olivia to join ‘Oppenheimer’

Christopher Nolan’s upcoming wartime epic ‘Oppenheimer’ has seemingly cast just about every notable actor under the sun with more casting announcements coming at a rapid-fire pace.

Rivaled only by Margot Robbie’s ‘Barbie’ movie in its cast, the film has just added Olivia Thirlby to the gargantuan ensemble in an unknown role according to Deadline.

‘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.

Cillian Murphy stars as Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicist whose work on the Manhattan Project led to the creation of the atomic bomb.

Thirlby joins a massive ensemble that also includes Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Rami Malek, Benny Safdie, Josh Hartnett, Dane DeHaan, Jack Quaid, Matthew Modine, Dylan Arnold, David Krumholtz, Alden Ehrenreich, David Dastmalchian, Olli Haaskivi, Jason Clarke, James D’Arcy, Michael Angarano, Guy Burnet, Danny Deferrari, Matthias Schweighöfer, Gary Oldman, Harrison Gilbertson, Emma Dumont, Devon Bostick, Trond Fausa, Christopher Denham and Josh Zuckerman.

Nolan is directing from his own screenplay and producing the film.

‘Oppenheimer’ hits theaters on July 21, 2023.
