5 THINGS ABOUT BARBIE
1 Barbie makes her big-screen debut with a live-action movie starring MARGOT ROBBIE as Barbie and RYAN GOSLING (BOTTOM RIGHT) as Ken. But true to their toy-shop origins, they are not the only Barbie and Ken in the doll aisle or the movie. The other Barbies include Mermaid Barbie (Dua Lipa), President Barbie (Issa Rae), Writer Barbie (Alexandra Shipp), Diplomat Barbie (Nicola Coughlan) and Gymnast Barbie (Kate McKinnon).
The Kens include Secret Invasion’s Kingsley Ben-Adir, Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa, Shang-Chi star Simu Liu and Chris Evans’ little brother, Scott Evans.
2 Margot never thought Mattel, the toy company that makes Barbie, would approve the making of the movie.
