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.

Margot Robbie will lead the 2023 'Barbie' cast after Amy Schumer's departure. The star-studded film also features Ryan Gosling as Ken, Will Ferrell, ...

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.

Robbie, on the other hand, can be seen in Amsterdam and Babylon, both of which are expected to be released towards the end of the year.

This 'Barbie' will not be anything like you expected, Margot Robbie has warned her fans.

As of now, no teasers or trailers of the film have been revealed yet by makers.

Now, can we truly honor the IP and the fan base and also surprise people? In an interview with Hollywood Reporter dated December 2020, Robbie opened up on the ‘Barbie’ movie and said, “And we like the things that feel a little left of center. Not much has been said or revealed by the makers and cast about the plot of the film. Ryan Gosling will star opposite Robbie as Barbie’s boyfriend, Ken.
