Barbie movie

Ryan Gosling makes for the perfect Ken doll in Warner Bros.' latest look at Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie.'

“If you’re an asshole on a Greta Gerwig set, there’s no hope for you.” While no plot details from “Barbie” have been confirmed, it’s rumored that several Barbie and Ken characters factor into the plot. Ryan Gosling makes for the perfect Ken doll in Warner Bros.’ latest look at Greta Gerwig’s “ Barbie,” which stars Margot Robbie in the title role.

He will be taking on a role as the CEO of a toy company in an apparent nod to Mattel, the company that manufactures Barbies, Hot Wheels, and American Girl dolls. (Now all we need is for Samara Weaving and Jaime Pressly to join the cast for true ascendance.) Beyond that uncanny double act, it is rumored that multiple actors will play both Barbie and Ken. Hari Nef and Issa Rae are also reportedly playing Barbies, and Ryan Gosling is joined in Ken-ly duties by Simu Liu and new Doctor Who (and fellow Sex Education alum) Ncuti Gatwa. Before being produced by Warner Bros, the film was originally going to be produced by Sony and had “a fish-out-of-water story a la Splash and Big, whereby Barbie gets kicked out of Barbieland because she’s not perfect enough, a bit eccentric and doesn’t fit in,” Deadline reported. First, we know Gerwig and her husband, Marriage Story writer Noah Baumbach, are writing the screenplay and Gerwig is directing. No, we don’t. What we do know is one thing it won’t be about. The movie is still a while out — set to release June 21, 2023 — but the hype is building with each new plot detail, photograph, and unearthed Letterboxd account we get.

Warner Bros. Pictures unveiled the first look photo of Ryan Gosling in the upcoming "Barbie" movie opposite Margot Robbie. The film debuts in 2023.

The sizable cast adds to the mystery of what the film could possibly be about -- it includes comedians Will Ken prove to his beloved Barb that there's more to him than an absurd amount of abdominal muscles? Based on the photo, Gosling's transformed into the quintessential Ken: His skin is tinted orange, and he's showing off an eight-pack of abs and bleached-blond hair.

The film’s supporting cast includes America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Ariana Greenblatt, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Rhea Perlman and Will Ferrell. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Barbie represents the first time the toy has been rendered as a live-action movie, but has been in development for eight years and underwent many changes, with Amy Schumer and Anne Hathaway circling the role during the script’s previous iterations. A first-look photo of Gosling in full character was released today (June 15), donning a sleeveless Canadian tuxedo, Calvin Klein-inspired underwear, an orange-hued tan and platinum locks.

Because if we can do all that and provoke a thoughtful conversation, then we’re really firing on all cylinders.” “We like the things that feel a little left of center,” the two-time Oscar nominee said. There is a quote that’s been credited to Ryan Gosling: “All my characters are me.

And Margot Robbie in the lead role is just as perfect. So what other Hollywood A-listers could we tee up for the next toy-franchise adaptation?

The casting is so perfect, in fact, that this might necessitate a rethink when it comes to movie adaptations of toy franchises. As such it only seems fair that a Sindy movie should star Robbie after a botched round of cosmetic surgery and several catastrophic dental procedures. There was an attempt in 2007 to make a Bratz movie, but the film failed for all manner of reasons, not least because the stars weren’t (and still aren’t) famous enough. Her Barbie looks like a version of Robbie’s Sharon Tate, or Robbie’s character from The Wolf of Wall Street. The casting is perfect. And then there’s Ryan Gosling. Gosling will play Ken in Barbie and, again, it’s a role he was born to play. Although that was already the consensus, given that it’ll be directed by Greta Gerwig from a script she co-wrote with Noah Baumbach, the photos of the two leads put it beyond all doubt.

"Right, it comes with a lot of baggage. But with that come a lot of exciting ways to attack it. And a lot of nostalgic connections. "We like the things that feel a little left of center. Barbie was a million siblings." While another added: "FPJ should play Ken's older brother.

In Greta Gerwig's much-anticipated Barbie movie, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling will co-star as Barbie and Ken. From when the Barbie movie will be released ...

People generally hear ‘Barbie’ and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be,’ and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t…’” It’s no secret that the franchise’s lack of diversity has historically proved controversial, too – and is something that Gerwig will need to tackle head-on in the film. If that sounds painfully clichéd, it’s worth noting that feminist auteur Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) is both writing and directing the movie, with input from her partner Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story).
