Every girl is Barbie and every boy is Ken. Or so the new character posters of Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie seem to suggest. The makers unveiled a handful of character posters on Tuesday of all the actors in the film. Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling are not the only actors playing Barbie and Ken, but a handful of other people will play versions of the same character.
Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Ncuti Gatwa and Scott Evans are playing variations ofKen, while the likes of Dua Lipa, Emma Mackey, Alexandra Shipp, Kate McKinnon, Hari Nef and more are playing variations of Barbie.
The posters give a glimpse of each of the characters and there seems to be a hidden message in all of them. While all the women seem to play a version of Barbie doll with a specific profession, the male actors seem to just play Ken.
The character posters also provide a first look at Helen Mirren as the narrator, Will Ferrell as a Mattel CEO and Michael Cera as Allan.
While the entire cast has now been unveiled, the plot of Barbie still remains under wraps. Several media reports state that the film will have Robbie and Gosling’s characters stumbling into the real world
Barbie opens in theaters worldwide onJuly 21.
