Oppenheimer begins streaming on Peacock in August

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer will begin streaming on Peacock on August 16, 2026, and will be the only movie releasing on the streaming service that day (via TV Guide).

Nolan wrote and directed Oppenheimer based on Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin’s 2005 biography American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer. The movie focuses on Oppenheimer’s life, his time working on the Manhattan Project as the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory, and his later years. Damon portrays Leslie Groves, a US Army Corps of Engineers officer who serves as the director of the Manhattan Project. Meanwhile, Cillian Murphy takes on the title role.

The film’s star-studded cast also includes Emily Blunt as Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer, Robert Downey Jr. as Rear Admiral Lewis Strauss, and Florence Pugh as Jean Tatlock. The movie premiered on July 11, 2023, at Le Grand Rex in Paris, France, before its release in US theaters on July 21.

Oppenheimer was warmly received by critics. It currently holds a 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes after 509 reviews. ComingSoon’s Jonathan Sim gave the movie an eight out of 10 rating, which equates to “great.”

Sim wrote in his review of the film, “Regardless of the rough edges, Oppenheimer is a tour de force from Nolan. A cinematic achievement where he takes a dramatic real-life story and makes it into a movie that must be experienced on the big screen. I saw this movie in 70mm IMAX, and I would encourage anyone who can do the same.” The movie made over $975 million at the global box office (via Box Office Mojo).

It also received 13 nominations at the 96th Academy Awards, winning seven, including Best Picture, Best Director for Nolan, Best Actor for Cillian Murphy, and Best Supporting Actor for Robert Downey Jr.

Notably, Nolan and Damon reunited after Oppenheimer for The Odyssey, which is currently in theaters. They also worked together on 2014’s Interstellar.
