He is starring in Christopher Nolan’s latest film, Oppenheimercurrently in theaters… But this does not prevent Cillian Murphy from closely eyeing another film also in theaters since July 19, 2023. It is obviously about Barbie by Greta Gerwig.
As proof, following the release of the two films, during an interview, the 46-year-old Irish actor has let it be known that he is not against the idea of participating in the possible second part of the film. “Let’s see the script”he said in a video posted on Twitter by the account Omelet while being questioned about the phenomenon”Barbenheimer”

The Barbenheimer phenomenon
The simultaneous release of Barbie and D‘Oppenheimertwo of the most anticipated films of the year, curiously gave birth to a phenomenon: the “Barbenheimer”… But what is it?
Since the two films were released, mash-ups in which we can see hijackings of the posters of the two feature films are emerging on Twitter. Cilliam Marphy in a pink decor as Ken or Margot Robbie in a soldier’s outfit… Internet users never stop mixing the two worlds which have nothing to do to createBarbenheimer”…
Misappropriations which curiously do not date from last July 19, the release date of the films in question, since in June 2023, Kate Kohn, director of communications and digital design for the Federation of American Scientists, had already had fun combining the two films.
A big spotlight on Barbie And Oppenheimer which are a hit in theaters with more than 1.2 million admissions for Greta Gerwig’s film and 840,000 for Christopher Nolan’s.
#Barbenheimer it is more than validated. Give Margot and Cilian an Oscar immediately. pic.twitter.com/V15dy39JM6

I can almost guarantee Hollywood will try and replicate what #Barbenheimer has created. It’ll backfire completely, you can’t replicate this. Totally organic. pic.twitter.com/OQxx2ROPN6
