Ibadat Kaur is an entertainment writer at Netflix Junkie. Her love for Narcos &amp; Pedro Pascal is what brought her to the world of entertainment news. She has immense love for historical and investigative documentaries on people and cultural practices. If this was not enough, she was a blogger prior to keeping her step in the glitz and glamor of the entertainment world and covered culture and heritage while traveling across Central and South America. For Ibadat, writing has been her safe space, and she aims to pick up reviewing anthology formats like Black Mirror &amp; Criminal at Netflix Junkie. If you want an expert on comedy (dark and satire) psychology or travel, then Ibadat is your person. While you will mostly find her covering everything and anything from the world of entertainment, about her favorite celebrities, shows, and movies, Ibadat is an avid Schitt's Creek fan and loves the novel George Orwell’s 1984. And if not this, she will be seen actively backpacking for her next trip, petting her dog Raven, or studying the human condition (side-eye).

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Margot Robbie is one of those rare icons who can seamlessly transition between diverse roles. Even when standing next to Hollywood moguls like <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/">Will Smith</a> she manages to steal the spotlight. And through her latest role in the hyper-realistic <em>Barbie</em> universe, her talent has touched a milestone. From cashing in $70.5 million on its opening day, the film&#8217;s upward trend has continued. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Now surpassing one of her previous flicks with Will Smith, <em>Barbie</em> is continuing to take the box office by storm. After all, the stellar performances of its star cast have captivated audiences worldwide. </span></p>
<h2><strong>Barbie continues making history in its second week</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Crusading as a rom-com thriller, <em>Focus</em> burst into theaters in 2015 with the <em>Suicide Squad</em> actress in the lead opposite Smith. Remember the electrifying on-screen chemistry between the co-stars that stunned moviegoers? Fans of both will surely do, considering the whopping $159 million the movie raked in. But even in the <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-whats-wrong-with-you-margot-robbie-reveals-how-her-friends-reacted-to-her-role-in-barbie-opposite-to-ryan-goslings-ken/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">absence of a kissing scene that enraged Margot Robbie’s friends</a>, <em>Barbie</em> has left behind <em>Focus</em> in its second week itself. </span></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although both of these movies received mixed reviews, they managed to captivate moviegoers worldwide. Both films stand as a shining example of Robbie’s versatility as an actress. But<em> Barbie</em> stands out as a testament to her rising star power and allure.</span></p>

<p>If all this has Will Smith feeling left out, the actor may find some respite in this AI-generated art that transports him to the Barbieverse.</p>
<h2><strong>An AI artist brings us Barbie x Will Smith</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Packed in pink, <em>Barbie</em> may have stolen the spotlight from the Australian actress&#8217; project with Will Smith. But an AI artist has shone the pink spotlight right back at the <em>Emancipation</em> actor. Using his AI skills, David Zenyama created iconic <a href="https://www.netflixjunkie.com/hollywood-news-barbiecore-turns-into-barbie-galore-as-ai-artist-reimagines-will-smith-and-hollywoods-macho-men-in-pink/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barbiecore renditions of Hollywood’s leading men</a>. And at the helm of his post is none other than Will Smith, standing tall in a bubblegum pink suit. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inspired by the pink trend, the artist surely does justice to this portrait of the <em>Independence Day</em> actor. Much like his <em>Focus</em> co-star who lived this trend for months, Smith looks absolutely stunning. Makes us wonder how he would have looked if featured in the movie in real life!</span></p>
