About

Barbie-Oppenheimer Splitscreen is a spliced image of Margot Robbie wearing a white cowboy hat and pink outfit in the 2023 Barbie movie and a black-and-white photo of Cillian Murphy wearing a fedora and suit in the 2023 film Oppenheimer edited to evenly align the two stars. The photoshopped image became an exploitable meme template on Twitter and Instagram in June 2023, trending alongside the Barbie vs. Oppenheimer series of memes.

Origin

On June 22nd, 2022, the Daily Mail[1] published an article showing behind-the-scene photos from the Barbie film set. The collection included a photo in which Margot Robbie can be seen wearing a pink cowboy suit and hat while smiling and looking down (seen below).

The image of Cillian Murphy on the Oppenheimer[2] set was released by Universal Pictures in November 2022 (seen below).

The image was then reposted to the subreddit /r/Moviescirclejerk[4] on June 7th, 2023, where it gathered over 3,000 likes in a month.
