Sean Avery to appear in Hollywood blockbuster this summer

Former NHL enforcer Sean Avery is no stranger to the big screen. In 2005, Avery played the role of New York Rangers tough guy Bob Dill in the movie "The Rocket".

But after his retirement from hockey, Avery has landed roles in some big Hollywood movies including 2016's Patriots Day, which was about the Boston Marathon Bombing and Christopher Nolan's 2020 film "Tenet" as 'Red Soldier 1'.

Christopher Nolan, who is one of Hollywood's most well-known filmmakers, has decided to cast the former NHLer for yet another blockbuster.

According to the cast list on IMDB, Avery is set to play the role of a weatherman in Oppenheimer, which is set to open in theaters later this week.


The film is about J. Robert Oppenheimer, who is known as the 'father of the atomic bomb' due to his role in the Manhattan Project. The Manhattan Project was the research and the development of the first atomic bomb during World War 2.
