Margot Robbie’s Barbie movie trailer shows how amazing plastic life really is
The first trailer for Margot Robbie’s Barbie movie has been released – and it shows that as Aqua’s fun yet beloved Barbie song says, life in plastic really is. To be great.
The trailer for the rom-com, which hits theaters in July 2023, is only 60 seconds long, so we can’t glean much from its footage. Still, it looks like it could be an incredible hit next year – especially with the A-list stars in Robbie (suicide squad, Babylon) and Ryan Gosling (Blade Runner 2049, La La Land), who played the original Ken, in the lead roles.
Watch the first trailer for Barbie below:
Mocking Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, the trailer shows several girls playing with old-fashioned dolls. However, when Robbie’s Barbie arrived – complete with shiny, plastic skin and her iconic hourglass figure – it was the girls who smashed the toys they were playing with to support the appearance of Barbie.
The final few seconds introduce actual footage from the film, including Robbie’s Barbie, Gosling’s Ken, and Thuong-Chi Simu Liu’s Ken 2.0 star participates in various dance/music scenes. Sure, it looks super hot, but you just know it’s going to be a summer blockbuster for all ages. Or, at least for 2023.
While the arrival of the first teaser is good news, we still don’t have a plot synopsis for the film. Typically, promotional trailers are emailed to the press along with a story summary of a movie or TV show. However, the only information that comes with the teaser’s press release is who will star in the film (Robbie, Gosling and Liu), when it will be released (see below), and the film’s director ( Greta Gerwig).
However, we do have some idea of what to expect from the Barbie movie. Talking to Diversity (opens in a new tab) in July, Gosling teased Ken’s character: “That Ken’s life was even harder gray man life, I think. Ken has no money, he doesn’t have a job, he doesn’t have a car, he doesn’t have a house. He’s going through some stuff.”
Meanwhile, talk to The Wall Street Journal (opens in a new tab)Will Ferrell – who plays the CEO of Mattel, the toy company behind Barbie – said: “It’s a loving homage to the brand and, at the same time, couldn’t be more sarcastic – just a worthy comment. marvel at the patriarchy of men and women. in society and why Barbie is criticized but why every little girl still wants to play with Barbie. When I read it, I thought, ‘This is amazing.'”
