Cillian Murphy explained that Oppenheimer demanded actors with real weight and gravity. He said everyone in the film represents people of huge historical consequence, so Christopher Nolan deliberately cast actors who carry merit, presence, and seriousness, not just star power. According to Murphy, that wasn’t accidental — Nolan knew the story required performers who could hold history on their shoulders. No spectacle casting. Just actors who could stand still and still feel important. | Cillian
