Barbie Embarks on a Journey to the Real World in New Trailer for Margot Robbie's BARBIE
Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for director Greta Gerwig’s upcoming film Barbie, and this trailer actually offers our best look yet at the story the movie is going to tell. As you’ll see, Barbie starts to go through some serious changes in the world that she lives in, and these changes force her to embark on a journey to the real world, where she starts to learn some wild and interesting things about her existence. Things eventually get very meta.
The movie stars Margot Robbie as Barbie with Ryan Gosling as Ken. For over 62 years, “Barbie has led girls on a path to self-discovery and helped them to imagine the possibilities. After over 180 inspirational careers, Barbie—along with her friends and family—continues to inspire and encourage the next generation of girls that they can be anything.”
The rest of the cast includes Simu Liu (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Kate McKinnon (Saturday Night Live), Ariana Greenblatt (Love and Monsters), Issa Rae (Insecure), Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), Hari Nef (Transparent), Will Ferrell (Saturday Night Live), Kingsley Ben-Adir, Helen Mirren, Ncuti Gatwa, and America Ferrera. Oh, and John Cena plays a mermaid version of Ken!
The movie hits theaters on July 21, 2023.
