Despite the extensive promotion of the film by Mattel, Warner Bros., and the cast and crew of “Barbie,” the actual plot has been largely kept under wraps. Director and co-writer Greta Gerwig has disclosed that the main character, Barbie (played by Margot Robbie), embarks on a “hero’s journey” from Barbieland to the real world. The film also portrays Ken (played by Ryan Gosling) experiencing an existential crisis through song. Are you planning to take in a “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” double feature this weekend? The development of the “Barbie” film has been a lengthy process, spanning multiple studios, creatives, and actresses.
