In between stints as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, Holland appeared in the West End adaptation of Romeo & Juliet alongside Francesca Amewudah-Rivers.
This project reunites Nolan with the studio that backed his hugely successful historical drama Oppenheimer , which won the Oscar for Best Picture (and six other statues), and grossed $975 million at the global box office. me watching Oppenheimer pretending i know what the fuck they are saying for 3 hours pic.twitter.
com/NQIjVWBFqr — shoe (@shoe0nhead) July 30, 2023 The three-hour, R-rated period piece was Nolan’s first time working with Universal and, in doing so, the director severed a nearly two-decade long creative partnership with Warner Bros., the company that has backed many of his biggest blockbusters including The Dark Knight trilogy, Inception , and Dunkirk . Nolan reportedly went directly to Universal for his Oppenheimer follow-up rather than shopping the film around town.
Oppenheimer starred the who’s who of Hollywood talent, including but not limited to Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, Damon, Florence Pugh, Rami Malek, and Josh Hartnett. So, it’s safe to assume a bevy of A-listers could soon be joining Damon and Holland in this forthcoming feature.
