Would Cillian Murphy have made a better Cooper?
Although Interstellar frequently ranks among Christopher Nolan’s best movies, there’s no denying that the project would’ve been completely different with Cillian Murphy in the lead role of Cooper instead of Matthew McConaughey. Murphy later went on to be Nolan’s leading man in Oppenheimer, but casting the actor earlier could’ve been a fascinating choice from Nolan that would’ve changed Interstellar on a fundamental level.
Interstellar would’ve been a much more cerebral and challenging project with Murphy’s subtle acting style at the forefront, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Forcing the audience to consider how Cooper might be feeling instead of displaying it so openly might’ve made viewers connect with the character more. Murphy could’ve definitely brought this quality to the character.
Murphy’s Casting Would’ve Caused A Dark Knight Reunion With Hathaway Interestingly, Interstellar wasn’t the first time that Anne Hathway had worked with Nolan either, having played the character of Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises. This would’ve also made for an entertaining reunion between Murphy and Hathaway if he’d been cast in McConaughey’s place, potentially even giving the two characters an entirely new dynamic and chemistry.
