In recent times, actress and 'Oppenheimer' actor got together to talk about their works in an episode of Variety바카라s 'Actors on Actors.' This is when the actress told Cillian that she was told to push the release date by one of three producers of

Margot told Murphy, "One of your producers, Chuck Roven, called me, because we worked together on some other projects. And he was like, 바카라I think you guys should move your date.바카라 And I was like, 바카라We바카라re not moving our date. If you바카라re scared to be up against us, then you move your date.바카라 And he바카라s like, 바카라We바카라re not moving our date. I just think it바카라d be better for you to move.바카라 And I was like, 바카라We바카라re not moving!바카라 I think this is a really great pairing, actually. It바카라s a perfect double billing, 'Oppenheimer' and 'Barbie.'" Upon hearing this, the 'Peaky Blinders' star responded, "That was a good instinct."

Continuing the conversation, Cillian went on to ask Margot if we should be expecting 'Barbie 2.' She revealed, "We put everything into that movie and it's so good that I'm like 바카라Oh no.바카라 I'm also so proud of the fact that it was an original and not a sequel or prequel, which is getting rare and rarer these days. Your movie too is original which is amazing that we both got theatrical opportunities for original ideas. The part of me would be like 바카라Oh No바카라 if we do 'Barbie 2'바카라I don't know바카라 But at the same time, I would do anything to be back on that set. I would do anything to be back on sets with Ryan (Gosling, co-actor) and Greta (Gerwig, director). Playing Barbie is the best. It's so joyful. so, it's not a no but also I would take a lot to live up to."

'Barbie' is directed by Greta Gerwig while 'Oppenheimer' belongs to Christopher Nolan. Having the same release date worldwide, July 21, both movies clashed at the box office and were two of the massive releases of this year.
