Universal Pictures has released the first official poster for Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan’s next epic thriller drama starring Cillian Murphy as atomic bomb inventor J. Robert Oppenheimer. The poster features Murphy in the middle of huge and ominous clouds of smoke.
The film is set to make its debut in theaters on July 21, 2023, which will see the star-studded biopic going up against another highly-anticipated ensemble film in the form of Greta Gerwig’s live-action Barbie film.
