It’s going to be a perplexing summer because, while we all agree that plastic is bad for the environment, the Barbie movie is begging for a plastic-filled good time.
While this is certainly from the first Barbie film – shout out to all the die-hard fans who’ve seen Barbie in the Nutcracker – it is the first to hit the big screen.
And it’s coming with a big cast, a star-studded soundtrack, and a lot of hype.
Come on, Barbie, let’s go party!
Here’s all you need to know before diving into the fantastical realm…
Who is in the cast?
Margot Robbie plays Mattel’s titular blonde icon, and she comes with a lot of star power, including Ryan Gosling as her Ken (because who else?). In June 2021, the Wolf of Wall Street star told British Vogue, “It comes with a lot of baggage!”
‘And a lot of nostalgic connections. But with that comes a lot of exciting ways to attack it. 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….’
Will Ferrell is down to play CEO of toy company Mattel, plus Ugly Betty’s America Ferrera, SNL’s Kate McKinnon, Marvel’s Simu Liu, Insecure’s Issa Rae, new Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa, Michael Cera, Alexandra Shipp, Hari Nef, Emerald Fennell, and Emma Mackey are all set to have parts among others, as rumour has it the Barbie movie will feature multiple Barbies and Kens.
That doesn’t even take into account Dame Helen Mirren’s appearance as a narrator.
What is the plot?
The new teaser has finally given us a better picture of the plot.
Barbie and Ken are enjoying the fun of their lives in Barbie Land, a vibrant and seemingly ideal paradise.
When they finally have an opportunity to visit the real world, they quickly learn about the benefits and drawbacks of living among humans.
Is there a trailer?
There most certainly is, and it’s every bit as plastic as you’d expect. Greta, who co-wrote the picture with her spouse writer/director Noah Baumbach, has stated to expect the unexpected.
What is the release date for the Barbie movie?
Barbie will be released on July 21, 2023.
Who is on the Barbie soundtrack?
Ava Max, Charli XCX, Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice, HAIM, Khalid, and Ryan Gosling also appear on the soundtrack.
