Margot Robbie wasn’t wrong when she guessed it Barbie it would gross over $1 billion at the worldwide box office. The film starring her and directed by Greta Gerwig was an instant success, bringing the characters in pink to fill cinemas around the world. Much of the triumph of Barbie it is also thanks to the roaring cast, but almost the “stereotypical Barbie” as we know it was another.
Margot Robbie Barbie
Perhaps Margot Robbie’s path to becoming the “stereotypical Barbie” was the most unusual.
That’s because, before deciding to star, Robbie was already an executive producer on the film. She arrived even before Greta Gerwig and clarified that the final decision on who would play the stereotypical Barbie would be up to the director, in an interview with the site collider.
I didn’t want whoever our director was – Greta was the first choice, but if she said no – I didn’t want our director to feel like he had to cast me in the role. So I was very candid about it: ‘I won’t be offended in the slightest. We could talk to anyone [atriz]. Whatever story you want to tell and whoever you want it to be [a intérprete de Barbie]I support it.

Barbie-Margot
Margot Robbie only accepted the role of Barbie when she realized that Greta Gerwig really wanted her in the lead. Therefore, it is not possible to find an audition video of her on the Internet (and it is not even possible to know if there was one).
After Robbie finally agreed to play the main character, the director adapted the script for her.
Also according to the collider, both in the script given to the actress and in that of actor Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken, the names of the characters were different and said: “Barbie – Margot” and “Ken – Ryan”. Usually, scripts only contain the character’s name.
