First Look At Universal's 'Oppenheimer' Short Teaser

Universal has released a brief teaser for its upcoming Christopher Nolan movie Oppenheimer, in which Cillian Murphy plays J. Robert Oppenheimer, one of the fathers of the atomic bomb.

The preview, just a few seconds long, dropped early Thursday on Universal’s social media channels and was playing on a loop.

Oppenheimer is set to hit theatres on July 21, 2023, and the picture, which Universal won a bidding war for, is the first Nolan has made after his previous film, Tenet.

The star-studded cast includes Kenneth Branagh, Michael Angarano, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Rami Malek and Benny Safdie

After Oppenheimer helped to develop the atomic bomb during World War II, his loyalty to the United States was questioned by hawkish government officials.

Oppenheimer is based on the 2005 Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin.
