Oppenheimer is based on the biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. The film explores how Oppenheimer's work on the Manhattan Project led to the creation of the atomic bomb.
The trailer introduces Murphy as Oppenheimer. In addition, Oppenheimer's wife, Katherine, played by Emily Blunt, can be heard at the start of the teaser.
"The world is changing, reforming. This is your moment," she says.
Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., and Florence Pugh also star.
Oppenheimer is written, directed and produced by Nolan. The film will be his first since Tenet, released in September 2020.
Oppenheimer opens in theaters July 21, 2023.
