Nolan and Murphy will work together for the 6th time. People know how much Cillian respects Nolan. He would always turn up for Christopher no matter how big or small the part was. This is how Murphy reacted.
"I’ll always turn up for Chris, whatever the size of the part. Chris will call me up and I’m there… I think he’s flying the flag. Him, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Quentin Tarantino are fantastic filmmakers…" – Cillian Murphy On Working with Christopher Nolan #Oppenheimer pic.twitter.com/SiUtLJpZxL
