Barbie is a 2023 fantasy comedy film directed by Greta Gerwig, who wrote it with Noah Baumbach. Based on the Barbie fashion dolls by Mattel, it is the first live-action Barbie film after many computer-animated direct-to-video and streaming television films. The film stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, who go on a journey of self-discovery after their expulsion from the utopian Barbie Land. Appearing in supporting roles are America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell.

A live-action Barbie film was first announced in September 2009 by Universal Pictures with Laurence Mark producing, but development began in April 2014, when Sony Pictures acquired the film rights to the character. Following multiple writer and director changes and the casting of Amy Schumer and later Anne Hathaway in the titular role, Sony lost the rights, which were transferred to Warner Bros. Pictures in October 2018, with Robbie being cast in 2019. Gerwig was announced as director and co-writer with Baumbach in 2021. Gosling and the rest of the cast were announced in early 2022. Filming took place primarily at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden in England from March to July 2022.


Barbie premiered at The Shrine in Los Angeles on July 9, 2023, and is scheduled to be released theatrically in the United States and the United Kingdom on July 21, 2023, by Warner Bros. Pictures.


Casting




In October 2021, Ryan Gosling entered final negotiations to play Ken in the film.America Ferrera, Simu Liu and Kate McKinnon were cast in February 2022. Liu auditioned for the film after his agent raved the script as one of the best they had ever read. In March 2022, Ariana Greenblatt, Alexandra Shipp, and Emma Mackey were revealed to be in the cast. Will Ferrell joined to the cast in April, along with Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Hari Nef, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Rhea Perlman, Ncuti Gatwa, Emerald Fennell, Sharon Rooney, Scott Evans, Ana Cruz Kayne, Connor Swindells, Ritu Arya and Jamie Demetriou.

During the casting process, Gerwig and Robbie looked for actresses with "Barbie energy" (which is described as "a certain ineffable combination of beauty and exuberance"). Mackey revealed in a 2022 interview with Empire that much of the supporting cast will be playing various iterations of Barbie and Ken. In an interview with Vogue in May 2023, Robbie revealed she wanted actress Gal Gadot as a Barbie for the film, but Gadot was unavailable due to scheduling. Helen Mirren narrated the film's trailer and also filmed a brief cameo for the film. Gerwig sought frequent collaborators Timothee Chalamet and Saoirse Ronan for cameo appearances but neither were available.
