Oppenheimer Cinematic Universe — GO!
- Teller: A sequel of sorts, depicting his later relationship with Oppenheimer and the development of the hydrogen bomb, the fallout of the Castle Bravo test, and the Strategic Defense Initiative with a cameo by Carl Sagan in 1983.
- Einstein: A prequel of sorts, dramatizing his development of special relativity and the attempts to prove it, his famous equation, and ending on a somber note as he submits the Einstein-Szilard letter convincing Roosevelt to commission the Manhattan Project.
- Feynman: Follows his work on Quantum Electrodynamics and later his role on the Rogers Commission investigating the Challenger disaster. Could also be a P.O.V. Sequel with flashbacks to his time at Los Alamos and the death of his wife Arline shortly before the Trinity test.
- Sagan: While mentioning Cosmos, astrophysics, and environmental work, the film primarily focuses on his involvement in nuclear disarmament and promoting the hypothesis of nuclear winter.
- Sakharov: The odd duck of the series, depicting Andrei Sakharov's work on the Soviet atomic bomb project, the creation of the Tsar Bomba, and his later advocacy for nuclear-nonproliferation and human rights.
- Kitty: From the POV of Kitty Oppenheimer, exploring her complicated relationship with her husband, struggles with motherhood, and how her career as a biologist was cut short after her marriage.
- Little Boy (or Fat Man): An interquel focusing both on Paul Tibbets and the 509th Composite Group, culminating in the two fateful days in August of 1945.
- Bohr: A prequel focusing on his development of the Bohr model of the atom, his work on quantum mechanics, and mentorship of Hans Kramers and Werner Heisenberg, as well as his role in helping refugees escape from Nazism and his own escape to Sweden after the 1940 German occupation of Denmark.
- Heisenberg: The Letters from Iwo Jima to Oppenheimer's Flag of Our Fathers, this P.O.V. Sequel would focus on the man's importance in the field of quantum mechanics (the discovery of matrix formulation and the uncertainty principle) and his complicated legacy due to his part in Uranverein, Nazi Germany's nuclear weapons program.
- Potsdam: A Sympathetic P.O.V. sequel on Harry Truman, his sudden appointment into the presidency and the delicate politics in the Potsdam Conference that would lead to his decision order the nuclear bombings. Later Truman would deal with both the early years of the Nuclear Age, the rise of McCarthyism and The Korean War, in particular Douglas Macarthur's attempts to use atomic weapons in war.
- Gary Oldman, of course, is playing Stalin this time.
- Alvarez: A sequel following Luis Walter Alvarez from his time at Berkeley under Laurence, the Manhattan Project, and witnessing Hiroshima, all the while exploring his relationship with his son Walter and their later investigation of what killed the dinosaurs.
- Alsos: An interquel focusing on Colonel Boris Pash and the Alsos Mission, the top secret Allied operation to investigate the Nazi's atomic weapons program.
- Kennedy: A sequel set up by the mention of JFK at the end, with a focus on his rise to the presidency, the "Missile Gap", the Berlin Crisis, and culminating with the Cuban Missile Crisis. Oppenheimer makes a cameo appearance after Kennedy rehabilitates his career.
Oppenheimer is a priest of Azazoth, Idiot God of Nuclear Chaos. The detonation of the bomb served to bring his God into reality.
In The Invisibles, Oppenheimer is revealed to have been a member of the Outer Church who used the detonation of the gadget to punch a hole in reality, using it to open a gate through which a higher reality being would enter our world. After the detonation, the government found a hexadimensional hyper-being made of liquid information that they transferred to Dulce Base to study it properly. Godzilla is somehow part of the world-ending chain reaction Oppenheimer envisions.
Since Godzilla Minus One takes place between World War II and the Cold War, he may have contributed to some of the events that nearly led to World War III, such as putting Truman out of business and provoking the arms race. America may have covered up his existence to save face with the Soviets or deescalate Cold War tensions. A future Christopher Nolan film will heavily reference Barbie dolls as a Fandom Nod to Barbenheimer
