Oppenheimer has been released in India, with shows starting at 12:01 am. Christopher Nolan’s film has generated tremendous buzz in the country, resulting in high ticket sales. While the film boasts of an impressive cast that includes Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, the inclusion of Robert Downey Jr. has perhaps raised expectations from Nolan’s masterpiece. Now the director of Tenet has praised Robert Downey Jr., calling his choice by producers to play an Iron Man-like character “one of the greatest casting decisions in film history.”

Speaking with Happy, Sad, Confused’s Josh Horowitz, Christopher Nolan couldn’t help but appreciate the synergy between Robert Downey Jr. and his MCU character Iron Man, who, in my opinion, was one of the best casting choices in film history. When [Jon] Favreau had a dream to cast him as Iron Man. And you examine what happened and what direction everything took as a result. And I believe John knew exactly what an amazing actor Downey was and how amazing his promise was. Then the charm of a film star, that amazing magnetism, enters the picture,’ expressed the filmmaker.

He also spoke candidly about collaborating with the famed actor on Oppenheimer. He told Josh Horowitz, “It was that you could go up to him and say, ‘Okay, put aside your charisma and movie star fantasies for a moment and let yourself be engrossed in this real-life character who is so subtle and plays such a wonderful role in Oppenheimer’s story. And I think a lot of his fans will be quite surprised to see that he’s returning to that talent as an actor, just finding the truth in another human being and giving it to him. Expressing that, and the things that he’s achieved in film. To be able to completely turn around and expand himself in a way that a lot of people haven’t seen someone who has achieved so much greatness as a movie star is great.
