Any fan of hit 1997 box-office hit Titanic will be buzzing to know the cult-classic flick has finally landed on Netflix.
Well, it actually hit the streaming giant last Monday (15 July) but it's clear the hype over Netflix's latest addition isn't dying down anytime soon.
Now, while we're all extremely delighted that one of our favourite films is now easier than ever to watch - viewers had one major question after seeing the Titanic re-release poster.

On the near-to-impossible off-chance you're unfamiliar with the plot of the tear-jerker, the movie follows the likes of Rose (Kate Winslet) and Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) as they embark on a journey (and romance) of a lifetime on the grand ship.
Incorporating both historical and fictionalised aspects of the tragic real-life sinking of the RMS Titanic back in 1912.
The flick also boasts a star-studded ensemble cast joining the two fresh-faced Hollywood A-listers including the likes of; Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, Danny Nucci, David Warner and Bill Paxton.
Naturally, Kate and Leo featured on the poster for the original film, but eagle-eyed fans have noticed something strange in the poster for the re-release in February 2023.
As any fan of the original will be able to confirm that Rose had some pretty elaborate hairstyles throughout the film, where she was perfectly groomed until the disaster itself.
However, in the posted for the remastered 25th anniversary edition, she appears to have two completely different 'dos.
While one half of her hair features in the curled style we remember from the film, another half features a straight, more modern style that looks completely out of place.
This went far from unnoticed by Titanic fans, who took to social media to question what had happened to the poster.
Many took to social media to share their confusion, with one X user writing: "Why does she have two different hairstyles[?]"
This prompted another viewer to remark: "It looks like it's two photos in one. Like Kate's photo is actually on top of another photo. Which is another photo of Leo actually hugging a girl."
A third couldn't help but reference Legally Blonde, adding: "A perm? On the Titanic? isn't the first cardinal rule of perm maintenance that you're forbidden to wet your hair for at least 24 hours after getting a perm [sic]."
"She was getting a perm then the iceberg hit?" questioned a fourth, while another joked: "Because it represents the duality of her having to portray her societal role and the life she wishes to have, free, with Jack."
Meanwhile, a final suggested that the original poster also featured two hairstyles - it was just a lot more subtle writing: "Weirdly enough, the original also had two different hairstyles but it’s less noticeable than this one."
