10 Insane Upcoming Movie Castings You Won't Believe
3. Margot Robbie As Barbie - Barbie (2023)
A live-action Barbie movie certainly doesn't seem like a thing the world needs right now. After all, Barbie is one of those leftover toys from a time when being pink, pretty, and blonde was the only thing a young girl was encouraged to aspire for.
But from the sounds of it, the upcoming Malibu flick will attempt to course-correct the unrealistic images Barbie has previously been accused of portraying to young kids. With the socially conscious Greta Gerwig set to direct, it's likely this plastic-rom-com will attempt to impart some kind of lesson about the notions of beauty.
Of course, the role of Barbie has been given over to the current image of Hollywood perfection: Margot Robbie. So it will be interesting to see how this film will attempt to subvert the typical ideas of beauty... This character comes with a hell of a lot of pink baggage, but with Will Ferrell also confirmed to make an appearance, it will at least be an interesting watch, if not all that insightful.
