After standing out among the acting giants of the Oppenheimer cast, Alden Ehrenreich is back on track several years after the failure of Solo.
Alden Ehrenreich seems to have made a rare Hollywood comeback thanks to his role in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. The star-driven biographical drama has already earned over $400 million at the box office in just two weeks, surpassing Solo: A Star Wars Story — the film that should've shot Ehrenreich into stardom.

Despite his limited screen time, Ehrenreich has earned praise for his performance, which managed to be a standout in a film filled with more recognizable names and faces than most.
Alden Ehrenreich faced an insurmountable amount of pressure leading up to what could've been his breakout role. When Solo ended up bombing at the box office, it gained a reputation as one of the worst Star Wars films to date. Unfortunately, not every young actor can escape the shadow of their greatest film-industry failure.
2023 Is A Big Year For Alden Ehrenreich - And Oppenheimer Is His Best Release Yet After earning his first bit of recognition as a scene-stealer in the already star-studded cast of Hail, Caesar!, Alden Ehrenreich has finally returned to what worked best for him: playing small but crucial roles in large ensemble casts. Despite his limited screen time, Ehrenreich was fantastic in Oppenheimer. He also stood out in Cocaine Bear, delivering some of the film's funniest scenes.
Cocaine Bear and Fair Play were riskier choices that seemed to have paid off for Alden Ehrenreich. While those films generated buzz on social media and added to his overall acclaim, Oppenheimer has emerged as Ehrenreich's greatest success of the year, allowing him to showcase his talents in one of 2023's largest cinematic platforms.
