One year from today, the world will play witness to two major new films: one is Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” and the other is Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” While we’ve seen plenty of looks of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling all dolled up for the former, Universal chose today to drop the first “Oppenheimer” poster for Nolan’s highly anticipated new film.

And “Oppenheimer”Looks like they are moving away from the traditional biopic route and instead opting for something officially called an “epic thriller.”
This explosive poster does the trick. It’s available for you to see below.
