Back during the early days of development on the Barbie movie, Amy Schumer was attached to play the titular role. As ideas for the movie kept evolving though, it transformed into something different from the initial concept, and the comedian bailed on the part. Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig ended up taking over the project, developing it into the pink, sparkly extravaganza that just hit theaters. Now, the I Feel Pretty star is reacting to the summer blockbuster in a tongue-in-cheek way that hints at her previous casting.
Amy Schumer posted a goofy photo on her Instagram that shows her sporting a big sun hat. In her caption, she talked about seeing both Oppenheimer and Barbie this weekend, meaning she participated in the viral "Barbenheimer" double feature craze. Instead of suggesting she should have played the title character in the fantasy film, as originally intended, she joked that she actually should’ve been considered for another major role. You can see her hysterical post below:
