Christopher Nolan assembled an all-star ensemble for Oppenheimer. Aside from its stars, Josh Hartnett, Alden Ehrenreich, Casey Affleck, Kenneth Branagh, Benny Safdie, and Rami Malek are among those in the ensemble.

The R-rated three-hour epic has made over $950 million worldwide. It opened opposite Greta Gerwig's Barbie in July, which grossed $1.4 billion worldwide.

Zack Snyder is known for his films 300 and Watchmen. He is also widely known for his work in establishing the DCEU (now DCU). His film, Man of Steel, kicked off DC's cinematic universe. He has since left the franchise and James Gunn and Peter Safran are gearing up to oversee their slate of films.

After his DCEU run, Snyder has been working with Netflix a lot. First, he directed Army of the Dead (and co-wrote the spin-off Army of Thieves film). Coming up, his new space opera, Rebel Moon, will be released on December 15 in theaters and December 21 on Netflix. A sequel film will be released next year. Snyder directed, co-wrote, produced, and created the project.
