Hey! Look who’s back, your favorite doll from the 90s. Except for this time, she’s a bunch of different women. Barbie is an upcoming movie directed by Greta Gerwig. The film has a weird and dystopian look going on, and the story is just as intriguing. It’s centered around Barbie getting kicked out of Barbieland for not being perfect enough.
Sucks when that happens, right? Well, now all she can do is find herself in a world of humans. Now, the Greta Gerwig production has released new posters featuring Emma Mackey, Simu Liu, Dua Lipa, and many others! An interesting rumor was confirmed by these posters, and it doesn’t get more exciting.
Barbie Movie Poster Reveals
The Barbie movie is already a big spectacle for fans who are not very young kids. It stars greats like Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as the titular characters Barbie and Ken. Robbie is Barbie, and Gosling, Ken. But there is more than meets the eye with these characters that lived in every little girl’s dollhouse. New posters give up a cool new detail for Ken Barbie characters. Did you catch it?
The rumors were true, after all! Different actors and actresses are all playing Barbie and Ken! Except for the delightful Micheal Cera who’s the only actor playing Allan. Allan was introduced as Ken’s best friend back in the early days of Mattel. Apart from Cera, Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Scott Evans are all going to be Ken Dolls.
A cool little gag in the movie is that there are Barbie characters who work in different professions. Dua Lipa’s version of Barbie is a literal mermaid, and guess what, Issa Rae’s Barbie is actually president. So the different Barbies you see are all representing different roles.
Filmed in various places, the film initially went up on the internet when Gosling and Robbie were seen filming around Venice Beach. It’s meant to be released on the 20th of July this year. Margot Robbie appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show to promote the film. She talked about the uniquely unpleasant experience of filming for her Barbie character.
“I can’t tell you how mortified we were, by the way,” said Robbie. “We look like we’re like laughing and having fun, but we’re dying on the inside. Dying. I was like, this is the most humiliating moment of my life.”
All of this was simply because of the leaks during the shoot. She did not want to be swarmed by press junkies, podcast bros, and the ever-notorious paparazzi while filming.
Regardless, many are getting their suits sewn, and their shoes tied up to run straight into theatres. The film opens soon, are you ready for a Barbie movie summer?
