澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy has said he's open to playing Ken in a potential Barbie sequel, which would usher in the ultimate 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Barbenheimer crossover. 

"Sure, yeah. Let'🔯s read the script, let's have a conversation," the actor told about the possibility. "I can't wait to see it. I can't wait to see the 🎐movie. I think it's great for cinema to get all these great movies happening this summer."

Murphy is probably better known for his more serious roles, so he'd certainly make a surprising choice for Ken – b♛ut that's why we're so fascinated by the idea. The actor vanished into the role of Oppenheimer entirely, so we have no doubt that he'd turn in a legendary performance as Ken, too.

The Barbenheimer phenomenon propelled both films to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:stellar box office totals, with the opening weekend of both movies becoming the fourth biggest box office weekend of all time. It trails only behind the opening weekends of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Infinity War, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Force Awakens; considering neither Barbie nor Oppenheimer are sequels, that's an impressive tu♎rn of events indeed.

"There seems to be something. It's developed, of course, like any working partnership or any friendship," 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Murphy told us on the of working with Christopher Nolan. "I think we have similar tastes. We have a very good shorthand. And most of all, we really trust each other. I'd do anything for Chris. When you have that core understanding between each other, you can d⛎o good work, I think."
