Here’s every Barbie and Ken in the Barbie movie
If you were wondering who exactly the star-studded cast of the upcoming Barbie movie was playing, the answer is simple. For the most part, they’re all playing Barbie and Ken!

After all, Barbie comes in many different variations — and she can do everything!
