Barbie Movie Rumor Of Multiple Barbies Seemingly Confirmed By Star
Emma Mackey seemingly confirmed a theory that the Barbie movie features multiple Barbies and Kens. Lady Bird helmer Greta Gerwig is directing the upcoming WB live-action movie based on Mattel's eponymous fashion doll line. The Barbie movie has been in the works for over a decade, with Sony initially looking at Anne Hathaway and Amy Schumer for the title role. Eventually, Barbie landed at Warner Bros, with Margot Robbie attached as the heroine. In 2021, Ryan Gosling joined Barbie as Ken. In the subsequent months, the movie rounded out its ensemble with Mackey, America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Will Ferrell, Ncuti Gatwa, Issa Rae, Hari Nef, and Scott Evans.
Filming on Barbie has been underway since Spring 2022, and it's been providing a constant supply of intriguing set photos and videos.

Yet, details on the story and plot remain slim, with not much known save for the fact that the movie will «subvert viewers' expectations.» A popular theory is that there are multiple Kens and Barbies in the new film, with Liu, Gatwa, Rae, and Nef playing different versions of the famous characters. There has been no confirmation about the same, apparently, until now.
