Everything To Know About the 'Barbie' Movie (2023)

 

July 21st will be a hell of a day to go to the theater between Barbie and Oppenheimer—might have to be a double movie day if you about that life. The hype surrounding Margot Robbie's new Barbie movie is unlike anything we've seen in recent years—particularly for a film that's based on a... doll. The chaos on TikTok has already started, the search for clues and hidden meanings (which we'll cover later) is in full effect, and, well, people are counting the days until this ultimate summer jam of a movie gets released. We know you're ready to party like Barbie (or accompany your girl to the party), so let's get into everything you need to know about the film thus far, including the release date, cast, trailer (a new trailer!), and more.

When is the 'Barbie' movie release date?

As we just mentioned, Barbie comes out on July 21st, and even though Matt Damon called off the war between Oppenheimer and Barbie, we know deep down inside that there's still going to be a slight opening weekend battle between the two.

Who's playing Barbie?

Duh. That would be Margot Robbie. It should be noted that Amy Schumer originally landed the role of Barbie in 2014, but dropped out of the project a few years later ending with Robbie getting the role in 2019. Needless to say, this project has been in the making for almost a decade now.

Who's playing Ken?

That would be the handsome Ryan Gosling who's taking on the role of the gorgeous Barbie's beau Ken. Ryan seems to be the perfect Ken as he sports bleach-blonde hair, six-pack abs (which he makes sure to show with his beach shirt), and a bright smile of course.

A trailer for 'Barbie'!!

On April 4th, we got teaser trailer number 2, which was the first official full-length trailer for the movie. In it, we got the now iconic first shot of Robbie stepping into her furry pink heels and an exploration into the magical world that is Barbieland.

Who else is in the 'Barbie' cast?

An ensemble cast that features Dua Lipa, Issa Rae, America Ferrera, Simu Lu, and plenty more because if you're going to do a Barbie movie, you've gotta do it big.
