Remember the Barbie of your childhood? Prepare to see her in a whole new light. Greta Gerwig's upcoming film, set for release on July 21, 2023, is poised to redefine what it means to be a Barbie in today's world. Leading this cinematic revolution is none other than Margot Robbie, taking on the iconic role of Barbie with an ensemble that includes Ryan Gosling as Ken.

In this anticipated release, we see a departure from the traditional doll universe. Margot's Barbie steps out into the human world, a journey filled with unexpected turns and witty insights. As Margot Robbie herself said in a 2021 interview with British Vogue, "It comes with a lot of baggage. There's a lot of nostalgic connections. But with that come[s] a lot of exciting ways to attack it."

The vibrant and colorful posters of the film hint at a diverse and engaging world. Joining Margot and Ryan are stars like Issa Rae, Kate McKinnon, and music sensation Dua Lipa, each bringing to life a Barbie with a unique career and story. The film promises to show Barbies as authors, presidents, diplomats, and even Nobel Prize winners.
