Another big name, and Damon always says great things about Nolan when asked in interviews and such.

I hear Ridley Scott is already getting a Damon led hydrogen bomb film ready for 2024.

Thought about this too. Damon was very outward about wanting to work with him, and this time he'll actually get some billing/credits on promotional material lmao
Just remembered this great, quick moment with Damon gushing about his experience on Interstellar. It's not really a hidden gem as I'm sure plenty have seen this; I just can't wait for his performance in Oppenheimer.
