Multiple Ken Actors In Barbie Seemingly Confirmed By Unexpected Source
The rumor that multiple actors will be playing Ken in the upcoming Barbie movie has potentially been confirmed by a wholly unexpected source. The Barbie live-action film, which is due July 21, 2023, stars Margot Robbie as the titular Mattel doll. The comedy is currently in production, helmed by three-time Oscar nominee Greta Gerwig, whose previous projects include Lady Bird and Little Women. Gerwig co-wrote the script with indie darling Noah Baumbach, and it is being brought to life by a star-studded cast that includes America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Ariana Greenblatt, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Michael Cera, Rhea Perlman, Emerald Fennell, Sharon Rooney, Scott Evans, and Will Ferrell as potentially the movie's villain.
Although Ryan Gosling is set to star opposite Robbie as Barbie's partner Ken, there have long been rumors swirling that the film will feature other versions of Ken and Barbie, mimicking the original toy line. The cast members who are rumored to be part of this include Shang-Chi star Simu Liu and Sex Education's Ncuti Gatwa as Kens, alongside Insecure's Issa Rae and Transparent's Hari Nef as Barbies. It is currently unclear whether these other Barbies and Kens would be included in the film as a recurring gag or form a more major part of the film's overall storyline.
