As a gamer with a soft spot for blockbuster movies and a keen eye for comedic banter, I must say that the playful rivalry between Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr. during the Oppenheimer press tour has left me utterly captivated. Their witty exchanges on Jimmy Kimmel Live! were nothing short of entertaining, reminding me of the friendly feuds I’ve had with my friends while playing video games late into the night.
2023’s “Oppenheimer,” one of Christopher Nolan’s top films, delved intensely into the life of theoretical physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his involvement in creating the atomic bomb. However, during the press tour last summer, the banter between stars Emily Blunt and Robert Downey Jr., who portrayed Kitty Oppenheimer and Lewis Strauss respectively, was far from somber. Despite not sharing screen time, they appeared to have a great deal of fun together. For instance, a collection of videos revealed their playful habit of teasing each other quite extensively
Put together by Outstanding Screenplays, this compilation, which is chiefly comprised of moments from when the actors were on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with Cillian Murphy to chat about Oppenheimer, shows how often Downey would poke fun at Blunt by saying she was off her game due to ingesting/using certain foods/substances, though Blunt fires one hell of a zinger back at Downey by the end:

During Jimmy Kimmel’s presentation, Robert Downey Jr. playfully suggested that people should be gentle or disregard Emily Blunt at these gatherings since she had experienced unpleasant incidents such as bad shellfish, margaritas, hallucinogenic mushrooms, and marijuana gummies, and was even seen with a Z-Pak of rash cream. While it’s clear that Blunt takes this good-natured teasing in stride, I must acknowledge her ability to retaliate during the Kimmel interview. When he asked about how she lost her voice, she humorously stated that it was because she had been yelling at him to take a Z-Pak for his chlamydia. However, she coupled this jab with a kiss on Downey’s cheek, ensuring that they both emerged victorious in the exchange
In a delightful manner, Robert Downey Jr. strongly recommended Christopher Nolan for casting Cillian Murphy in the film ‘Oppenheimer’, as he had observed Nolan pushing Murphy exceptionally hard during the production process
Emily Blunt shared an anecdote about a present she gave to Cillian Murphy during the filming of “Oppenheimer,” which apparently resulted in him sustaining a head injury
For the first time, Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt shared the screen together in a movie, an event I eagerly hope is repeated. Their witty banter was delightful, and it’s only fair that they get more opportunities to interact on-screen. Regardless of the film, I’m pushing for their reunion. It would give Downey another chance to cook up amusing explanations for Blunt’s peculiar behavior when under public scrutiny
Apart from Cillian Murphy, who portrayed the main character in Oppenheimer, other notable actors in Christopher Nolan’s latest film were Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Jason Clarke, Kenneth Branagh, and Alden Ehrenreich. This movie garnered critical acclaim, receiving seven Academy Awards and nominations in six other categories, among numerous other honors. Additionally, Oppenheimer grossed over $975 million globally, making it the third highest-grossing film of 2023 worldwide. If you’d like to rewatch it or see it for the first time, you can stream it with a Peacock subscription
Emily Blunt will collaborate once more with her Jungle Cruise co-star Dwayne Johnson in “The Smashing Machine,” an A24 sports drama based on Mark Kerr, scheduled for release around 2025. After his stint as Tony Stark in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Robert Downey Jr. is poised to rejoin the franchise, portraying Doctor Doom in “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Avengers: Secret Wars.” At present, there’s no information available on the topic of Christopher Nolan’s next film project
