Warner Bros Japan Slams Barbie Movie's Twitter Page, Calls the Barbenheimer Tweets 'Regrettable'
Warner Bros has called out the Barbie film's Twitter handle for its "extremely regrettable" Barbenheimer tweets and has asked the US headquarters of WB to take immediate action.
While the Barbenheimer movement swooped up the fans, it looks like Warner Bros Japan took a major issue with the event. Slamming the Barbie film's Twitter account for engaging with the Barbenheimer tweets, Warner Bros Japan called the entire ordeal "extremely regrettable" as fan art saw Margot Robbie's Barbie standing alongside Cillian Murphy as J Robert Oppenheimer with an atomic bomb going off in the background. Considering Japan's history, as the country was bombed by twice during World War II, the Japanese division of WB has taken up the issue was the US headquarters hoping for an "appropriate action."
