took to Instagram on Monday to praise the new “Barbie” movie — six years after exiting the project herself.“Really enjoyed Barbie and Oppenheimer but I think I should have played Emily Blunts role,” Schumer jokingly captioned a photo of herself wearing sunglasses and a large, unflattering sun hat. “Do better Hollywood.”Schumer, 42, appeared to be referencing Blunt’s role as atomic bomb creator Oppenheimer’s wife, Katherine “Kitty” Oppenheimer, in the new Christopher Nolan-directed film. “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” premiered last week.Schumer made headlines last month for sharing why she backed out as the titular character in the “Barbie” movie during its early development in 2017.

A post shared by @amyschumer“It really was just creative differences,” Schumer said on “Watch What Happens Live” with Andy Cohen.“But you know, there’s a new team behind it, and it looks like it’s very feminist and cool, so I will be seeing the movie.”The film stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, and also features comedian Will Ferrell as Mattel’s CEO and “Saturday Night Live” alumna Kate McKinnon as “Weird Barbie,” while the iconic Helen Mirren narrates.
