Movies and video games have always shared an interesting relationship when it comes to pop culture. In fact, a lot of iconic games released in recent years have been inspired by classic films. At the very least, this can be said about the Call of Duty franchise.

Thanks to a newly discovered detail in an old installment, it’s been revealed that Activision’s FPS saga has got something to do with Oppenheimer. The latter is also the name of a movie by Christopher Nolan based on the famous scientist Robert J. Oppenheimer.

Thanks to the Barbenheimer trend, Christopher Nolan’s newly released film is witnessing huge success at the box-office. The movie focuses on the life of Oppenheimer, who worked on a top-secret Manhattan Project. With a team of other scientists, he played a crucial role in designing the ‘atom bomb’ for the US during World War II.

Now talking about the Call of Duty relation, Oppenheimer has already appeared in the lore of the FPS franchise. This crucial information was recently shared by Twitter account Cod Lore Facts. While posting a tweet, it confirmed that “Oppenheimer studied Dr. Maxis’s files from Der Riese, and looked into the attack of Verruckt”.

Verruckt is a Zombies map from the original Black Ops that arrived in 2010. Per the Easter Egg in Treyarch’s game, Oppenheimer had an exchange of letters with Dr. V. Bush.

While writing to the latter, the scientist mentioned his visit to the Verruckt asylum, where he found a letter containing a limerick from “John”, a.k.a Banana. According to Cod Lore Facts, this Easter egg is from Black Ops 1’s single-player Campaign taking place in Terminal.

Furthermore, this new information also reveals that Oppenheimer was part of the Majestic-12 group. Similar to the 2023 movie, his famous quote “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds” is also mentioned in The Giant and TranZit. These two are the maps from the first Black Ops entry.

All things considered, this fascinating detail will give CoD players a unique way to look at their favorite series.
