Prep The Mojo Dojo Casa House, Oppenheimer Star Cillian Murphy Is Open To Playing Ken In Barbie 2!
Hi, Cillian as Ken!

Cillian Murphy’s performance in Christopher Nolan’s 12th directorial venture has become the talk of the town. He has impressed the critics and the audience with his portrayal of Robert Oppenheimer who was responsible for developing the world’s first atomic bomb. The same weekend as Oppenheimer’s release saw the release of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie too starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken. In a recent interview, Cillian Murphy was asked if he would be open to essaying the role of Ken in Barbie 2, and he sounded quite enthusiastic!
In an interview with Cinefilos, Cillian Murphy was asked if he will play the role of Ken in Barbie 2. To this, he said, “Yeah, let’s do it.” He was also open to hearing the script of the film! He further went on to say that he cannot wait to see Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, and it is great for cinema that such great movies were released this summer.

Well, Cillian Murphy’s reaction made it to Twitter where people shared their thoughts on whether he will be able to pull off the role or not. There were photoshopped posters of Cillian as Ken and the film was named Barbinheimer too. People had ‘chills’ just imagining Cillian Murphy and Ryan Gosling in the same film.

One of the Twitter users shared a picture of Cillian’s caricature in the Barbie World saying Margot’s dialogue, “Do you guys ever think about dying?” and honestly? This looks like a Cillian Murphy dialogue.
