On July 21, we entered our “Barbenheimer” era with the dual release of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. The same-day premiere of these two blockbusters has never been a competition, only a true blessing to this world, and each movie cast agrees.
We need some wholesome content today, so here are the various times the stars from each movie gushed over the other film.
“Congrats, you guys made a movie that I’m sure is gonna be awesome,” America Ferrera told Heart when asked what she would want to tell the cast of the other blockbuster. “We’re rooting for you.”
In their own Heart interview, the Oppenheimer cast sent a message back. “Rock it, Barbie! Queen Barbie,” said Emily Blunt who also noted she is a Greta Gerwig fan and is “#available” to do a movie in the future. Matt Damon echoed his costar’s sentiments and said, “Best to those guys. Go crush.”
During the pink and black carpets, respectively, the stars of both films also addressed “Barbenheimer.”
“It’s the perfect double bill. I think you should start your day with Barbie, then go straight to Oppenheimer, and then a Barbie chaser,” said Margot Robbie, and Ryan Gosling agreed.
At the Oppenheimer premiere, Cillian Murphy also noted that he is “of course” seeing the Barbie movie.
Similarly, Matt Damon told Good Morning Britain, “Isn’t that the great thing about the movie business? You’ve got two great directors doing two totally different things on the same weekend.”
In an interview with Omelete, Cillian Murphy also joked that he would be on board for playing a Ken in a Barbie sequel: “Sure, let’s see the script. Let’s have a conversation!”
“And keep the [Barbenheimer] GIFs and the memes coming,” Emily Blunt said. “We love it. We think it’s awesome.”
And finally, Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie showed their support by attending an Oppenheimer showing together. I believe this photo might be the embodiment of world peace.
