Greta Gerwig’s Barbie Movie Will Feature Multiple Barbies and Kens

It has been nearly two months since production of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie has officially begun, and Warner Bros. Pictures still hasn’t released any plot and character details for the project, other than its first official photo of Margot Robbie as the titular character.

Now, it seems like fans already have a slight idea of what the live-action film adaptation is going to be, with Kyle Buchanan of the New York Times revealing new character information. Apart from Robbie and Ryan Gosling, he’s hearing that the project will also include other versions of Barbie, portrayed by Issa Rae and Hari Nef as well as different versions of Ken, played by Simu Liu and Ncuti Gatwa.

The live-action Barbie movie is led by Margot Robbie (I, Tonya, The Suicide Squad), who is also serving as a producer through her LuckyChap banner. The project is being directed by acclaimed filmmaker Greta Gerwig from a screenplay she co-wrote with Noah Baumbach.

Joining Robbie are Ryan Gosling (La La Land) as Ken, America Ferrera (Ugly Betty), Simu Liu (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live), Ariana Greenblatt (Love and Monsters), Alexandra Shipp (tick, tick…BOOM!), Emma Mackey (Sex Education), Issa Rae (Insecure), Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), Hari Nef (Transparent), and Will Ferrell as the CEO of a toy company.

The film is produced by LuckyChap’s Tom Ackerly and Mattel Films’ Robbie Brenner along with Josey McNamara and Ynon Kreiz. This marks Robbie’s latest collaboration with Warner Bros. Pictures after starring as fan-favorite anti-hero Harley Quinn in 2016’s Suicide Squad, 2020’s Birds of Prey, and 2021’s The Suicide Squad.
