Margot Robbie As Barbie First Image Is Unbelievably Spot On

screenrant.com:

Margot Robbie's Barbiemovie gets a first-look image with the Oscar-nominated actress in her signature pink convertible. Though the popular toy has received a number of animated films over the years, Barbie's first live-action venture has gone through a rather unique journey. First put into development in 2014, Barbie was once set to star Amy Schumer as the beloved blonde doll. However, she later departed the project, and after a few more years of uncertainty, Barbie seemed to finally find its footing at Warner Bros.

Now Barbie is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing movies of the next year. Robbie will star as the title character, while Ryan Gosling is set to play her well-known partner, Ken. Other cast members include Will Ferrell, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, America Ferrara, Michael Cera, and Issa Rae, among many others. Greta Gerwig (Little Women) and Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story) have penned the script, and Gerwig serves as director.

As part of WB's CinemaCon presentation, the studio unveiled the very first look at Robbie as Barbie. Screen Rant was on hand for the announcement, though Warner Bros. later debuted the image online for fans to see. Check it out below.
