Warner Bros. released a new trailer for the highly anticipated movie of Barbie starring margot robbie (Babylon) in the title role. The latest footage teases a conflict in Barbieland as Barbie begins to experience minor inconveniences like cold showers and flat feet.
Barbie must travel to the real world to learn the truth about the universe. However, she does not go alone since Ken (Ryan Gosling by The Gray Man) accompanies his best friend on the trip. Upon arrival, the duo struggle to adjust to the real world, which is the opposite of idyllic Barbieland. To make matters worse, the CEO of the toy company (Spirited’s Will Ferrell) calls the dolls’ presence in the real world “catastrophic” and fights to return Barbie and Ken to their home.
Robbie and Gosling aren’t the only actors playing Barbie and Ken. There will be several variations of each character. Actors playing a different version of Barbie include Kate McKinnon (Saturday night Live), Issa Rae (insecure), Emma MacKey (sex education), Sharon Rooney (Dumbo), Alexandra Shipp (ticktick… BOOM!), Dua Lipa (argylle), Hari Nef (Transparent), Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton), Ana Cruz Kayne (little women) and Ritu Arya (The Umbrella Academy). Lipa will also appear on the film’s soundtrack, Barbie: The Albumwith his simple, dance the nightwhich will be released on May 26.
Along with Gosling, Simu Liu (Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings), Scott Evans (grace and frankie), Ncuti Gatwa (Sex education), John Cena (x fast) and Kingsley Ben-Adir (one night in miami) will star in variations of Ken.
