Florence Pugh, Rami Malek and Benny Safdie have joined the already stacked cast of 'Oppenheimer.'
The trio joins Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr. and Matt Damon in Christopher Nolan’s biopic about the father of the A-bomb. Universal calls the movie an “epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.”
Pugh will play Jean Tatlock, a member of the Communist Party of the United States who has an off-and-on affair with Oppenheimer (Murphy) and was the cause of major security concerns for government officials.
Safdie will play Edward Teller, the Hungarian physicist who is known as the father of the hydrogen bomb and a member of the Manhattan Project, the U.S. research initiative that developed the first atomic bomb.
Malek is playing a scientist (okay).
