As a first thought, one might think, “That’s great, maybe I’ll get more opportunities,” while as a second thought, “What about my privacy?” “” Having appeared in five previous Nolan films, including The Dark Knight Trilogy, Dunkirk, and Inception, Murphy will be appearing in his sixth with the filmmaker, which may explain his fans’ confusion. The video was also shared on Instagram, where several commenters attempted to justify RDJ’s remarks about the Peaky Blinders star. Murphy is widely regarded as Nolan’s favourite supporting actor, having met in 2003 during the casting process for the Batman Begins (2005) film, in which Murphy played troubled psychologist Jonathan Crane or The Scarecrow.

he is wrong in every sense of the word lol. Cillian is a superstar and face of Netflix in many regions around the globe as Tommy Shelby despite PB not even being a netflix original

In a recent interview, the Iron Man star hinted that working with Cillian Murphy in the film was tough for him. When promoting their forthcoming Christopher Nolan film, Oppenheimer, the Iron Man actor, appears to have made a mistake about fellow actor Cillian Murphy’s star status. RDJ’s remarks about Peaky Blinders star were also shared on Instagram. There were several commenters who attempted to rationalize RDJ’s remarks. Murphy previously stated in an interview that he had a lot on his mind when he took on the starring part of J Robert Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Similarly, it appears that Robert Downey Jr. picked up on some cold vibes off him on the set. In an interview with Fandom Wire, Robert Downey Jr. discussed the time he filmed with Cillian Murphy after accepting the opportunity to be a part of Christopher Nolan’s film. Robert said, “even as soon as I was on set, I noticed how Cillian had taken on the character to the point where he had embraced it to the point where I was practically with him.”.

It can’t help but make you feel a little iced out.” “Now Cillian is so warm and nice and inviting,” Robert said. When we rolled, I would have the impression that he was peering through me.” “And I was like, ‘That sucks,'” he continued, “I can only assume it was a lot of individuals who felt that way.” In a separate interview, Robert Downey Jr. discussed how he got the character in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. “I was cooling my heels approximately a year prior to the pandemic, just reconnecting myself with my family as well as other interests because I had been working super consistently,” The Avengers star explained. “But this was Christopher Nolan, doing something important to him,” he continued. The cast was a large group of people who had their pick of projects. And, as soon as we got started, world events aligned in such a way that this film became a significant metaphor for a variety of issues. Therefore, it was a no-brainer.
