The live-action Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie will hit theaters on July 21, 2023. The release date had been announced on Tuesday by Warner Bros. presentation at Las Vegas’ CinemaCon. Along with Margot Robbie, the cast will also include Ryan Gosling, Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Hari Nef, and Will Ferrell. The movie will be directed by Greta Gerwig who also co-wrote the script with her partner Noah Baumbach. Back in 2021, Robbie stated that taking on the beloved toy “comes with a lot of baggage… and a lot of nostalgic connections. But with that comes a lot of exciting ways to attack it. People generally hear ‘Barbie’ and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be,’ and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t’’. Production has already started earlier this year in London.
