Renowned actor Cillian Murphy, known for his role in Christopher Nolan’s thrilling film “Oppenheimer,” shared his enthusiasm for potentially starring as Ken in a sequel to the popular movie “Barbie.” During an interview with Brazilian entertainment website Omelete, Murphy expressed his interest in reading the script and discussing the possibility further.
Murphy also expressed his excitement for the “Barbie” movie itself, acknowledging the positive impact it has on the cinema landscape by providing audiences with a variety of great films to enjoy during the summer season.
Joining Murphy in his enthusiasm for a “Barbie” sequel are his “Oppenheimer” co-stars, Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. Both actors showed their willingness to collaborate with director Greta Gerwig, expressing their eagerness to participate in such a project.
Damon humorously mentioned the challenge of matching the Ken role portrayed by Ryan Gosling, who plays “Beach Ken” in the movie. Playfully, Damon acknowledged that Gosling’s portrayal may be tough to outshine.
Allison Jones, the casting director for the “Barbie” movie, revealed that several other actors were considered for Ken roles but faced conflicts with their schedules. Notable names such as Bowen Yang from “Saturday Night Live,” Dan Levy from “Schitt’s Creek,” and Ben Platt from “Dear Evan Hansen” were among those who could have been part of the blockbuster.
Apart from Ryan Gosling, the film also features an array of talented actors in various Ken roles, including Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Scott Evans, Ncuti Gatwa, and John Cena.
In the ever-evolving world of cinema, it’s refreshing to see actors like Cillian Murphy, Matt Damon, and Emily Blunt open to exploring different genres and embracing projects like a “Barbie” sequel. Their support further speaks to the quality and appeal of the movie.
