In an interview with the Variety show, “Oppenheimer” male lead Cillian Murphy and “Barbie” actress Margot Robbie discussed working on this year’s major films and the simultaneous premiere.
During the interview, the girl admitted that the creators of Oppenheimer requested to postpone the premiere of Barbie.
“One of your producers, Chuck Roven, called me; We knew each other from other projects. “I think you need to postpone the premiere date,” he said. I said that we will not change the date, if he is afraid for his movie, let him change the date. He replied: “No, we will not change our appointment, but I think it would be better for you if you did.” I said we would not transfer anything again. In the end, it seems to me, the perfect combination – “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie”, admitted the actress.
Meanwhile, the leading male actor spoke openly and said that he was surprised when he was offered this role. “This is our sixth collaboration, but before that I was only playing minor characters. This time, Chris’s wife, Emma Thomas, called me and told me Nolan didn’t have his phone, so he gave it to her. Killian said in his usual English style: “You know I’m making a movie here about Oppenheimer, do you want to play the lead role?” Killian said.
By the way, in one of the interviews, Killian admitted that he did not know what memes were, and Margot did not miss the opportunity to ask him how things were in terms of humor. “I have two teenage sons. I know what a meme is. Now I know there are even memes about how I don’t know what memes are. But then I really had no idea what happened. Remember this was a long time ago. It has now become a self-eating meme. As a rule, people send me this with the words “You need to see this,” the actor said ironically. They also remembered all the Barbenheimer memes that emerged before the film’s premiere.
Let us also remind you that the premieres of “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie” took place on July 21, 2023. These were the highest-grossing and most-watched films of the year, but Barbie grossed nearly twice as much as Oppenheimer.
