Greta Gerwig movie will feature Margot Robbie in the role of Barbie doll
Simu LiuMarvel star in “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”, confessed during an interview with the Independent that the Barbie made by Greta Gerwig put him through the “most painful experience of his life”. So what could be more complex than the MCU’s CGI scenes?
Without revealing too much the reason for the act, liu said he had to get rid of almost all of his body hair for the film, in addition to his hair. “Shaving has been an education, to say the least”joked the actor. “It was one of the most painful experiences of my life. I now have a lot of admiration for the incredibly brave women who go through this on a monthly basis.”he added.
Despite the role of Simu Liu in the plot has not been revealed to the public, the latest news reported that he will live another version of the puppet Ken. And this will only be the beginning, as “Barbie” should bring other variants of Mattel dolls. Along with the Marvel star, Ncuti Gatwa (“Sex Education”) are also tipped to live the other versions of the heartthrob, while Ryan Gosling (“La La Land: Singing Seasons”) will possibly be the original version of Ken.
In the female part, the protagonist will be Margot Robbie (“Suicide Squad”), while Issa Rae (“Insecure”) and Hari Nef (“Wonderful Mrs. Maisel”) should be opened like the other versions of Barbie girl. The explanation for this is about the development, which in reality, will go to a side where the Barbie in Robbie will go through an “identity crisis” when he realizes that he is not the only model of the doll that exists in the world.
The cast of “Barbie” also has Michael Cera (“Juno”), Will Ferrell (“Eurovision”), Kate McKinnon (“Ghostbuster”), Alexandra Shipp (“Tick, Tick… Boom!”) and America Ferrera (“Superstore”). Emma Mackey, Connor Swindells (both from “Sex Education”), Emerald Fennell (“Beautiful Vengeance”), Kingsley Ben-Adir, Rhea Perlman, Sharon Rooney, Scott Evans, Ana Cruz Kayne, Ritu Arya and Jamie Demetriou will also be part of the project.
“Barbie” opens in theaters on July 21, 2023.
