Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's Karen Gillan Joins in On Barbie Character Poster Meme

The Barbie movie trailer dropped today – but what seems to really be taking social media by storm is the massive gallery of Barbie character posters that were released with the trailer – followed by a Barbie poster generator giving fans the chance to make their own!  The Barbie movie poster generator is already inspiring its own wave of memes – and getting in on the act is none other than Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 star, Karen Gillan! 

As you can see above, Karen Gillan truly appreciated the assignment when it came to aping the Barbie movie character posters, shining light on this spot-on ode to Nebula as her own kind of 'Barbie doll.' Not only did Gillan put a smile on the faces of her legions of Marvel fans, but she also made the day (year?) of the fan artist who did the drawing, @PortalGOTG. It's nice to see franchises (and their fans) having fun with one another like this – and really, it only hypes up what a fun Summer 2023 movie season we have ahead of us, with Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 kicking things off, and Barbie arriving in the latter part of summer. It's a great time to be a movie fan!
