Josh Peck is in Oppenheimer?! Oh yes, yes he is. And the memes about his role are absolutely spectacular.
Josh plays the role of Kenneth Bainbridge in Oppenheimer. Kenneth was a real physicist who was involved in the Manhattan Project alongside J. Robert Oppenheimer. In the film, Josh’s Kenneth is also the one who pushes the big red button to launch the atomic bomb for the Trinity Test.
From jokes about blaming Megan for the bomb to the immortal “I’m pressing it! I’m pressing it!” quote, viewers have truly out done themselves with the memes and comparisons. (The fact that he was the one to push the button!? Literally so perfect!)
While watching the film, someone also claimed to have spotted Josh making a face similar to his iconic ‘Megan’ face from the Nickelodeon show.
“At one point in ‘Oppenheimer’, Josh Peck makes this exact face and it almost took me out of the movie,” the tweet said.
And it turns out, they were kinda right. While it’s not the exact same squinting expression, the comparisons aren’t too far off.

ok my only actual Oppenheimer take is that it’s so unbelievably funny to be watching an intense period piece and have to be like “is that… josh peck?”

The best part of Oppenheimer is when the atomic bomb goes off and Josh Peck turns to the camera and squints his eyes and shouts “Megan”😑

Spoiler free Oppenheimer review: at no point does Josh Peck say “it’s spherical” in reference to Gadget the first nuclear bomb.
