10 Upcoming Movies With INSANE Casts

Casting announcements for Christopher Nolan's new biographical drama Oppenheimer were so frequent last year that film fans joked it'd be quicker to just announce who hadn't been cast in it.

And seriously, in terms of pure famous bodies involved, this is the only movie on this list which can hold a candle to Asteroid City.

Beyond Cillian Murphy playing the lead role of theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, he'll be joined by - take a big breath - Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Rami Malek, Florence Pugh, Benny Safdie, Michael Angarano, Josh Hartnett, Kenneth Branagh, Dane DeHaan, David Krumholtz, Alden Ehrenreich, Matthew Modine, Jack Quaid, David Dastmalchian, Jason Clarke, Josh Peck, Devon Bostick, Alex Wolff, Tony Goldwyn, James D'Arcy, Matthias Schweighöfer, Gustaf Skarsgård, Gary Oldman, Olivia Thirlby, and Casey Affleck.

That is an enviable cast that most filmmakers could only dream of, yet Nolan's repute as a master director is such that basically everybody in town wanted to work with him.

And considering the sheer number of people appearing in this thing, it's easy to appreciate why it's reportedly three hours long. Fair enough, Chris.
