All white cast! Completely unrealistic. Im not watching this.


Come on Christopher Nolan. Where are all your black leads ? Where are your woman? This film is pure love for the white patriarch. Extremely outdated. Our male cast, all white as the driven snow.

He pretty much did the same with Dunkirk.

Appreciate this may well be a trolling OP but it is jarringly uncomfortable in this day and age.

Hiding behind "historical accuracy" in order to get a pass on racially bias casting should have no place in Hollywood at all anymore. We are all aware we are watching a movie not a documentary, filmed at the time of the historical event, and therefore this should no longer be acceptable to anyone.

A supposedly high quality director should be able to ensure a certain level of casting to ensure we have actors who can bring characters to life irrespective of their racial background.

Why bother?

Yawn, tired of this shit... From both sides.

A negro cast would probably secure a higher BO! The lack of negros will probably hurt the film financially. If you want a solid ROI you need to cast negro actors!

There's one black guy in the trailer next to Oppenheimer in some scenes. There were black scientists involved in the Manhattan Project. Not sure if he's one of them or just some government official.
