The upcoming Universal project is a biopic of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the theoretical physicist remembered as one of the founders of the atomic bomb.

Earlier, makers unveiled the first-look poster of Cillian Murphy from the film. The upcoming project is being touted as an “epic thriller that takes audiences into the heart-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world to save it.”

The film is all set to hit theaters on July 21, 2023.

Oppenheimer marks the first on-screen collaboration of Robert Downey Jr and Cillian Murphy. Nolan’s story is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography “American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer” by Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin.

The 721-page book, published in 2006, took Bird and Sherwin 25 years to research and write. Both authors are credited as writers on the film, with Nolan writing the screenplay himself, Variety reported.
