Cillian is playing Dr J. Robert Oppenheimer, the ‘father of the atomic bomb’, in the £81million blockbuster directed by Christopher Nolan.

Oppenheimer was the director of the laboratory which designed the atomic bomb during World War Two as part of the top-secret Manhattan Project.

The film is being adapted from the 2006 book American Prometheus: The Triumph And Tragedy Of J. Robert Oppenheimer, by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin.

The book, which won the Pulitzer Prize, details Oppenheimer’s personal life and his time leading the Manhattan Project in the early and mid-1940s.

Truman met Oppenheimer after the bombs were used in 1945, killing 200,000 people, and the scientist said that he felt he had blood on his hands.

Truman had little use for such pangs of conscience and dismissed him as a ‘crybaby scientist’.

The cast have been busy promoting the film together over the past few weeks and Robert Downey Jr – who plays Lewis Strauss – recently shared a snap of them all.

He posted the picture of himself with Matt, Cillian, Emily and John Krasinski, and even hinted at a possible cameo from Emily’s husband.

‘Linking up with my Oppenheimer cast mates…wait, is that a Krasinski photo bomb or might there be a surprise cameo???’ he captioned a photo shared to his Instagram on Sunday.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer: What do the critics think?

The Telegraph’s Robbie Collin

‘Am torn between being all coy and mysterious about Oppenheimer and just coming out and saying it’s a total knockout’

Vulture movie critic Bilge Ebiri

‘OPPENHEIMER is…incredible. A relentlessly paced, insanely detailed, intricate historical drama that builds and builds and builds until Nolan brings the hammer down in the most astonishing, shattering way.’

 Jonathan Dean of The Sunday Times

‘Totally absorbed in OPPENHEIMER. An audacious, inventive, complex film to rattle its audience.’

The Associated Press’ film writer Lindsey Bahr

‘It is truly a spectacular achievement, in its truthful, concise adaptation, inventive storytelling and nuanced performances from Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon and the many others involved.’

Matt Maytum of Total Film

‘An epic historical drama but with a distinctly Nolan sensibility: the tension, structure, sense of scale, startling sound design, remarkable visuals. Wow.’

Elsa Keslassy of Variety

‘A sign that French audiences loved #Oppenheimer is that they stayed in front of the Grand Rex theater long after the film ended to debate about it!’
