Some sexuality, nudity and language.
Is that Danny Deferrari as Fermi to Oppenheimer's left at 0:06? If so, then that seems to confirm that this indeed is the 1949 GAC meeting (plus Strauss).
Yup, it's him.
The revamped official website has a still of him too.
i know most of you are thinking sex scene, im thinking pictures of victims of Little boy and Fat man, though the "some sexuality" thing might mean the former.

Right, plus the fact that the screenplay is fixed on Oppenheimer's perspective probably rules out showing Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
And since that indeed
is Fermi,

The last three-hour epic to be rated R was Babylon and we all know how that went. Obviously I expect Oppenheimer to do much better, but we definitely need the Top Gun: Maverick audience (as in adults) to really show up for this to be a success.
Babylon good, public stupid.

So, surely Murphy hangs dong in this, right?
He's a huge influencer on TikTok working with the studios on a lot of titles now
Nolan probably doesn’t know what TikTok is, and I hope it stays that way. He’d be enraged to see everything is in 9:16.
