Gerwig wrote the screenplay for “Barbie” with her partner and collaborator “Frances Ha” and “Mistress America” Noah Baumbach. The production of the film is currently in progress. The second cast includes America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, Emma Mackey, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Issa Rae, Michael Cera and others. Although no details of the plot have been confirmed by “Barbie”, it is rumored that several Barbie and Ken characters are involved in the plot. Simu Liu described “Barbie” earlier this year as “wild” and “incredibly unique”, adding, “I wish I could show you what we do every day because it’s crazy.” The film is not a musical, but Liu said he has done many dance rehearsals for the film. The actress also teased what it’s like working on a set by “Greta Gerwig”. “When you make a scene and it works, you hear ‘HAHAHAHA!’ “It’s the best feeling in the world,” Liu said. “If you’re an asshole on a Greta Gerwig set, there’s no hope for you.” The protagonist of “Shang-Chi” is said to be playing one of the many Ken dolls in the movie. Liu had to have hair removal all over his body for the role, which he called “one of the most painful experiences of my life; I have such a new admiration for the incredibly brave women who go through it on a monthly basis.” Warner BROS. ‘ “Barbie” will premiere in cinemas on July 21, 2023. #BARBIE July 21, 2023Only in cinemas. pic.twitter.com/DAemOyv5H8 – Warner Bros.
