Emily Blunt is set to join Cillian Murphy in Christopher Nolan's latest movie

Now, it appears that Murphy's Oppenheimer, the scientist behind the Manhattan Project and the eventual invention of the atomic bomb, has found his kitty. According to Deadline, Blunt is in talks to play as Katherine "Kitty" Vissering Oppenheimer, the wife of J. Robert Oppenheimer.

Not much is known of the movie's potential cast outside of Blunt and Murphy. However, Nolan is confirmed to both write and direct the movie. Meanwhile, Emma Thomas, Nolan's long-time wife and creative partner, is going to work with him as the movie's producer. It will be interesting to see how the movie will shape up given how much money and creative control Universal handed to Nolan to make Oppenheimer happen.

For now, fans of Murphy and Blunt will have to watch each respective star in their TV films and movies.

Blunt was most recently seen taking on the lead role in A Quiet Place Part II and Disney's Jungle Cruise. She is expected to star in Amazon Prime Video's Western drama film series, The English. Meanwhile, Murphy is currently working on the sixth and final season of Peaky Blinders for BBC.
