Jack Quaid joins Oppenheimer
Paramount
Actor Jack Quaid first got his start in the industry with appearances in “The Hunger Games” franchise, before going on to collect a number of voice-acting gigs (most recently voicing Ensign Brad Boimler in “Star Trek: Lower Decks”) and starring in more and more high-profile productions over the years. Until now, that had culminated with his role in “The Boys.” Quaid also appeared in Steven Soderbergh’s “Logan Lucky,” making Christopher Nolan only the latest brand-name director that Quaid has collaborated with.
His addition to the cast comes right on the heels of similarly talented actor Dane DeHaan joining “Oppenheimer,” as we reported last month. In addition to Cillian Murphy, who portrays Oppenheimer himself, other cast members include the recently-added Josh Hartnett, Florence Pugh, Rami Malek, director/actor Benny Safdie, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and Robert Downey Jr. As usual, Nolan will direct the film from a script he wrote himself, making this the second World War II-set period piece in his last three films, with the mind-scrambling “Tenet” sandwiched in between “Oppenheimer” and “Dunkirk.” Acquired by Universal Pictures in an intense bidding war, “Oppenheimer” is scheduled to hit theaters on July 21, 2023. We’re not entirely sure how many more A-list actors one director could possibly snatch up for one prestige drama, but we’re anxious to find out. Stay tuned for any more casting and filming updates as they come in.
