Margot Robbie, actress cast to play Barbie in theaters, revealed how she felt upon reading the first version of the script.
At first, Robbie didn’t believe this narrative could come to life. “First time I read the script at Barbie, my reaction was, ‘Oh, that’s so cool! Too bad she’ll never see the light of day… Because they’re never going to let us make this film,’” the actress told the BAFTAs. “But they did.”
