No details are known at this time what roles Damon and RDJ might take in “Oppenheimer,” which is expected to be released July 21, 2023.

Ever since I first heard about “Oppenheimer,” I started to get excited about it. He was a fascinating man who played a massive role in the creation of the deadliest weapon ever used in combat.

I’m guessing most people under the age of 25 probably have no idea who Oppenheimer was or what he did during his life.

Now, Christopher Nolan is making a movie about the iconic American scientist and the creation of the bombs that ended WWII against Japan.

Add in the fact that Downey and Damon are both bonafide superstars, and you have a recipe for absolute success with “Oppenheimer.”

The cast is going to be loaded and Nolan is a visionary when it comes to directing. All of his films are proof of that fact.

We still have a long way to go before “Oppenheimer” drops, but there’s no doubt at all that I’m excited!
