Now the leading stars have met up to discuss the successful blockbusters.

Barbie ended up pummelling Oppenheimer at the box office.

Margot, 33, in a polka dot outfit for her Variety magazine chat with Cillian, 47, said: “Ninety per cent of me was certain this would be a big deal and a massive hit and ten per cent of me thought, ‘Oh, this could go so badly wrong’.

“It was all about (director) Greta Gerwig.

“And it was like, ‘If it wasn’t going to be Greta, then, yeah, this could have been an absolute disaster.’”

She also urged Cillian to make a spin-off movie of his hit TV gangster series Peaky Blinders.

He reckoned: “I’m open to the idea.”

The Oppenheimer actor played Tommy Shelby in the hit crime drama.
