Fans have heard about the upcoming live-action Barbie movie since ages ago, and while it feels like a long time coming, the project is set to release in July next year. Starring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, the film is directed by none other than Greta Gerwig.
The movie will be written by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, and Robbie will also produce the film using her LuckyChap banner. The actress has been making waves in the industry not only as a star in her movies but also as a producer.

Now it seems like a childhood dream come true for many adults who grew up during the Barbie era fever of the 90s. With big names attached to the film, there is no doubt this is one of the biggest movies coming next year.
Robbie spoke about the movie’s significance as a way to honor the loyal fan base. The film is something that the audience would feel like they know what it is all about, but they really do not. Robbie promised it would be spectacular and something that fans would never expect. The movie will also star Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan, popstar diva Dua Lipa, Ghostbusters’ Kate McKinnon, Superstore’s America Ferrera, and Shang-Chi’s Simu Liu.
Based on the images that have been circulating online since the production started, fans were treated to a glimpse of Robbie as the iconic Barbie in her signature blonde hair and hot pink car. In several other photos, she wore a full pink suit that absolutely screams Barbie-style.
On the other hand, Gosling’s Ken surprised the audience after seeing the actor transform into a man doll with beach blonde hair, tanned skin, and a denim vest. As usual, fans made several jokes about his look, while others called the actor “hot.”
