There are actors who are so good at their performances that when they play a very good role, their characters become our favorites and by putting an end to that figure, it’s too sad for the fans.
Just that happened to us with Robert Downey Jr., who for many years gave life to our favorite sarcastic millionaire Tony Stark and in 2019 he ended his performance in the delivery of Avengers: Endgamethis being the last time we saw him on the big screen.

A few days ago, the actor reappeared on his networks with a new look, with which he looks quite changed, so he surprised all his followers and made them question the reason for his appearance. If you still do not know the reason for its radical change, we will tell you.
It turns out that the new look of our beloved Downey Jr. is for the role he will play in his next movie Oppenheimerwhich will be directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Cillian Murphy, our badass Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders.
The film is an autobiographical film based on the story American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, written by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. The film is based on the true story of the protagonist, J. Robert Oppenheimer, who was an important figure during World War II.
So far, Nolan has confirmed Murphy as the lead as part of his cast, sharing credits with Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Emily Blunt and Florence Pugh. More and more renowned actors and actresses are joining this project, since in recent weeks Kenneth Branagh, Gary Oldman and Rami Malek have joined.
In addition to the surprising appearance of the look Downey Jr., another thing that caught the attention of the networks were the first images of the filming of the film, where you can see Murphy and the interpreter of Iron Man characterized by their respective characters.
Downey Jr. will play the American businessman Lewis Strauss, so his appearance has to look aged. That is why in the images he sports gray hair. Strauss was a key figure in the development of nuclear weapons in history, as well as being president of the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC).
Despite the fact that Oppenheimer’s story is well known throughout the world, the characteristics that the film directed by Nolan will have remain a mystery, since little is known about the details of his new installment, but, above all, everything, because he is known for being a quite perfectionist and detailed director in his productions.
The tape will be under the production of Universal Studios. Although they have not provided any official trailer or synopsis for now, it is planned that Oppenheimer have its premiere in July 2023.
We can only wait for them to give us more details about it, or wait for the premiere. For now, we can already enjoy the first images of what it will be like to see Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. together in what promises to be a great movie.
