Excited for the first-ever Barbie live-action movie? Well, so is Mattel.
Directed by Greta Gerwig and written by Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, Barbie is set to follow Barbie (Margot Robbie) as she lives in Barbie Land with Ken (Ryan Gosling) and other Barbies and Kens. However, one day, strange things start happening, and Barbie is faced with a decision – stay in Barbie Land or venture out into the real world.
"You can go back to your regular life, or you can know the truth about the universe. The choice is now yours," Kate McKinnon's character tells Barbie while holding up a stiletto and a Birkenstock in the trailer, released last month.
