Christopher Nolan and Matt Damon worked together again in Oppenheimer, in which the latter played Lieutenant General Leslie Groves, the director of the Manhattan Project. His character worked closely with Cillian Murphy’s J. Robert Oppenheimer throughout.
Matt Damon has told the story about his plans to take a longer and extended break from acting, something he promised his wife in counseling. He added one caveat to that promise, saying he would only consider working again if Christopher Nolan called.
Well, it turns out he did for Oppenheimer and has again now.
