The long-awaited film production Barbie features leading lady Margot Robbie, who revealed she made a single requirement to participate in the feature film directed by Greta Gerwig, known for her work in beautiful women. According to the acclaimed actress, the condition of her for starring in the film was that the storyline addressed diversity.
Robbie points out that he wouldn’t be interested in participating in a Barbie movie that wasn’t different, as one of the doll’s main attributes, which the production strove to bring into the script, is her inspirational potential. By presenting different versions of the character, the actress believes people will have the opportunity to be inspired by different role models and attitudes.
If Mattel hadn’t made this move to have a multitude of Barbies, I don’t think they would have tried to make a Barbie movie. I don’t think one should say, “This is the only version of what Barbie is, and this is what women should aspire to be and look and act.”

It is for this reason that the film plays with the idea of multiple Barbies and Kens. In addition to being played by very different actors, they all have unique styles and personalities. Thus, while the protagonist played by Robbie is the classic doll with a preppy life, we will also see a president, diplomat, doctor and writer version.
Barbie premieres July 20 in theaters and also features Ryan Gosling, Issa Rae, Will Ferrell, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Michael Cera, Ncuti Gatwa, Hari Nef, Emma Mackey, among others.
