People shocked after finding out Barbie's Ariana Greenblatt had famous role in Avengers: Infinity War

Her pivotal scene ended up becoming a major meme

While she's earning plenty of audience appreciation for her role in Barbie, people are just realizing they previously saw Ariana Greenblatt in Avengers: Infinity War.

Even the most ardent supporters of Barbie weren't sure the movie would be this massive of a hit, but it teamed up with Oppenheimer to give the box office its fourth biggest weekend ever and it's hit the billion dollar mark.

That's right, all those 'Barbillion dollar' jokes ended up being spot on and the Margot Robbie led, Greta Gerwig directed movie has been a spectacular success.

Not many movies break the billion dollar barrier, so everyone involved with the movie's production can really cement their reputation as a bankable star thanks to the runaway success of Barbie. However, there's one performer who already hit those heights.

These Barbies just made a billion dollars at the box office.

We mentioned earlier that Barbie and Oppenheimer's collaboration ended up being one of the biggest weekends the box office ever had, with Barbenheimer beaten only by the return of the Star Wars franchise and the dramatic high point of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Audiences flocked to The Force Awakens in droves, as well as to Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame and Barbie star Greenblatt had a major role in Infinity War - even if audiences didn't recognise her.

If you stuck around for the credits, and let's face it you did because Infinity War was a Marvel movie and they always stick another scene after the credits, then you'll have seen Ariana Greenblatt played the younger Gamora.

While Zoe Saldana (who is herself one of the biggest hitters at the box office) plays the green-skinned guardian of the galaxy as an adult, Infinity War delved into the backstory between Gamora and adoptive father/genocide enthusiast Thanos (Josh Brolin) before he killed her by throwing her off a cliff.

Greenblatt played the younger Gamora, who Thanos is shown abducting early in the movie, and then shows up again as something akin to a memory to ask him whether killing half of everyone in the universe (including her) was worth it.

Before she was Sasha in Barbie she was a younger Gamora in Avengers: Infinity War.

Plenty of people never made the connection, which is understandable considering it's been five (oh my god) years since Infinity War and she was playing a green-skinned alien child.

Now they're discovering she was in both box office busting movies and it's blowing their minds, with many only just twigging now.

One said: "Imagine being this young and having two movies over the billion mark already," while another went for the far more blunt reaction of: "SHE WAS BABY GAMORA."

Someone else said the TV show Stuck In The Middle had become 'so retroactively clouted by accident' since Greenblatt had been in that too.

Some fans said they 'didn't know it was her', while others were fit to burst with the realization: "THAT'S WHERE I RECOGNISED HER FROM."
