I remember when the first photographs of the ‘Barbie’ movie came out last summer and almost broke the internet after people couldn’t believe that Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling had signed up to star in a movie about ‘Barbie’, and then pretty much the same thing happened when the first ‘Barbie’ teaser trailer dropped just before Christmas last year.

I’m not sure if this new trailer is going to have the same reaction, but it has once again piqued everyone’s interest when it was revealed that Dua Lipa will be making her acting debut in the movie as a rival Barbie to Margot Robbie’s character. The full cast list has also been divulged for the first time, and it looks like it’s going to be one hell of a party with of Will Ferrell, Simu Liu, America Ferrera, Ariana Greenblatt, Ncuti Gatwa, Emma Mackey, Alexandra Shipp, Michael Cera, Issa Rae, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Rhea Perlman, Helen Mirren and Kate McKinno all showing up for it.
Most of them have all got their own posters as well that you can all see below:
Yeah I guess that means there are a whole bunch of Barbies and Kens going at it in the movie or something? The trailer itself doesn’t look like it’s giving too much away again, but again have a look at it yourself and see what you think:
To live in Barbie Land is to be a perfect being in a perfect place. Unless you have a full-on existential crisis. Or you’re a Ken.
Yeah, it’s really not giving much away but the fact that Gosling and Robbie are heading to ‘The Real World’ and ‘existential crisis’ has me thinking that it might be some kind of modern Barbie version of ‘The Truman Show’?! That could be interesting, but I think the fact that they’re not making it clear what it’s about at all has everyone looking out for some clues and super intrigued about the movie. Great marketing.
