New Oppenheimer Trailer Teases The Possibly World-Ending Stakes

Universal Pictures has released the new trailer for Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer which teases the possibly world ending events of the film.

The new trailer for Oppenheimer has been released. While it isn't quite the version we got to see at CinemaCon, which appeared to be an extended one with more black-and-white scenes, this one does tease a moment that director Christopher Nolan explained during the presentation that fascinated him. That was the implication that they didn't know, with complete certainty, that pushing the button to detonate the bomb wouldn't destroy the entire world. "What do you want from theory alone?" Oppenheimer says in the trailer.

While discussing this movie with Bleeding Cool's managing editor and massive history nerd Mark Seifert, he said that he found this movie to be an interesting choice to adapt because there is so much real-world footage out there of this event and the moments leading up to it. It's meticulously documented, with good reason, which makes it interesting to adapt, if nothing else. We got the new poster for Oppenheimer a few days ago spotlighting The Gadget.
