Oppenheimer starring Cillian Murphy in the lead tracks the tale of J. Robert Oppenheimer. He is the scientist who oversaw the Manhattan Project in an effort to create the atomic bomb. The Pulitzer Prize–winning book American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Martin Sherwin and Kai Bird served as the inspiration for the movie. The film is set to release on July 21, worldwide. It already had its global premiere in Paris and is looking forward to its London premiere. However, the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike might get in the way of the film’s London premiere.

Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan’s forthcoming film, has already created a buzz among the audience. The film starring Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer is a biographical drama. The film will hit theaters on July 21, 2023. The film recently had its global premiere in Paris, and the reactions from the premiere has already created hype for the movie. 

Oppenheimer is set to have its London premiere. However, there are reports that the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike may get in the film’s way for its UK premiere.

In the hope for the cast of Oppenheimer to not break the SAG-AFTRA actor rules, the studio will roll out the red carpet an hour earlier than planned. The London premiere scheduled to start at 5:45 p.m. is shifted to 4:45 p.m. local time. These 60 minutes will allow the cast of the film like Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr. Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, and Florence Pugh, to pose for photos and participate in interviews without going against SAG-AFTRA strike rules.

As per the SAG-AFTRA strike rules, actors would cease performing, auditioning, entering agreements for future work, and participating in press and publicity for current or previous work. The SAG-AFTRA board would still need to convene on Thursday to vote and approve the call for the strike. According to Universal executives, such a thing might not occur before the premiere.

The fans have taken over Twitter to express their thoughts about the situation. A person tweeted, “Just let them promote their hard work, jesus.”
