Cillian Murphy hung up the phone in disbelief when Christopher Nolan called him for playing the lead role in the special film Oppenheimer. The talented Irish actor has been a consistent presence in Nolan's films for nearly two decades, often taking on supporting roles. However, in 'Oppenheimer,' Nolan entrusted him with the lead role, marking a significant shift in their collaboration. Back in 2003, Murphy had his first encounter with Nolan when he was invited to audition not just for a role in the Batman movie but specifically for the iconic character of Batman himself. Though Murphy knew he wasn't the right fit for the Dark Knight, he saw this as an opportunity to meet the director behind «Insomnia» and «Memento.» The meeting went exceptionally well, and from there, Murphy's collaboration with Nolan took off. He tapped into a sinister intensity to portray the corrupt psychiatrist Dr. Crane/Scarecrow, a character who would make appearances in all three Batman films. Nolan continued to entrust Murphy with significant roles, casting him as the conflicted heir in «Inception» and a traumatized soldier in «Dunkirk.» Their professional relationship has since blossomed, leading to remarkable cinematic achievements.
