It was following 28 Days Later in 2002 that Cillian Murphy became the face of Hollywood. However, it was a role in the Dark Knight trilogy that put him on everyone's radar. Since then, he has been associated with much-thought-provoking films like Inception in 2010 and Dunkirk in 2017. His performances will still be captivating as with Oppenheimer of 2023, where he plays the main character and is very critically praised for his ever-lasting stay in the Hollywood elite circle of actors.
