Christopher Nolan Casts Oscar Winner Charlize Theron in His Next Untitled Film
The already impressive cast of Christopher Nolan’s next film has been joined by another well-known figure. After ‘Oppenheimer’, Academy Award-winning actress Charlize Theron has formally joined the cast of his eagerly awaited film. Although the specifics of the plot are still unknown, insiders affirm that any current rumours or descriptions of the movie’s plot are untrue—a conscious decision by director Christopher Nolan to keep things secret. This makes the ensemble cast one of the most star-studded in recent memory, as it now includes Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Lupita Nyong’o.
Theron and Universal Pictures, the production company behind Nolan’s most recent project, have a long history together.
She has contributed to a number of their films throughout the years, such as ‘Atomic Blonde’, ‘Snow White and ‘Huntsman’, ‘A Million Ways to Die in the West’, and the ‘Fast and Furious’ film series, in which she portrayed Cipher, the antagonist.
