Over the last week we’ve seen Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer cast continue to grow by adding Josh Peck (Drake & Josh), James D’Arcy (Dunkirk), Guy Burnet (Pitch Perfect 3), Danny Deferrari (Shiva Baby), Harrison Gilbertson (Upgrade), Matthias Schweighöfer (Army of the Dead), and Emily Dumont (Licorice Pizza).
Deadline is reporting that Jason Clarke (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Zero Dark Thirty) is the latest to join Christopher Nolan’s ever-growing Oppenheimer cast. Clarke adds to a cast that already includes Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Rami Malek, Benny Safdie, Josh Hartnett, Dane DeHaan, Jack Quaid, Dylan Arnold, Olli Haaskivi, Alden Ehrenreich, David Krumholtz, David Dastmalchian, and Matthew Modine.
A few days ago a Tweet announcing that David Dastmalchian (The Dark Knight, Blade Runner 2049) had been cast in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer appeared and disappeared in quick succession. Today THR confirmed the announcement. The actor got his first break in Nolan’s The Dark Knight as the deranged henchman Thomas Schiff. Dastmalchian’s career has taken off since — perhaps most notably appearing in a number of Denis Villeneuve films, including Prisoners, Blade Runner 2049, and Dune.
