Will Ferrell feels nothing but excitement for his upcoming project with Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. The trio will share the screens soon enough as the shooting of the Barbie movie is underway.
The film’s lead director Greta Gerwig has adapted the famous toy dolls to make a movie which as per Will Ferrell is a straight satirical comedy on the male patriarchy.
Barbie Star Will Ferrell Is Excited About The Satirical Comedy
It was previously announced that Margot Robbie (from The Suicide Squad fame) will be helming the film as the lead actress. Hopping along for the ride is Ryan Gosling’s portrayal of Ken (the Ken doll) and Will Ferrell.
While Will Ferrell was reminiscing about his past and his upcoming projects with The Wall Street Journal, he opened up about the Barbie project. Having nothing but excitement for the upcoming project, the Elf actor also shared his opinions on the patriarchy and how the movie is an homage to the Barbie brand while being a satirical comedy.
“It’s a loving homage to the brand and, at the same time, couldn’t be more satirical. Just an amazing comment on male patriarchy and women in society and why Barbie’s criticized and yet why every little girl still wants to play with Barbie. Boy, when I read it, I was like, ‘This is fantastic.'”
Along with these statements, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were recently photographed in their on-set costumes which can be considered a minor leak of the storyline. The Wolf of Wall Street star also shared the humiliating scenes that she had to do while on the sets of Barbie.
“I can’t tell you how mortified we were, by the way. 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.”
The movie, directed by Greta Gerwig and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures will be a one-of-a-kind movie as Margot Robbie also hypes the movie by subverting the audience’s expectations.
