The movie starring Ryan as Ken and Margot Robbie as the titular character is scheduled to be released on July 21, 2023. According to  Deadline , the cast also includes Will Ferrell, Simu Liu, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Michael Cera and Issa Rae.

Margot told  The Hollywood Reporter  back in 2020 that “something like Barbie where the IP, the name itself, people immediately have an idea of, ‘Oh, Margot is playing Barbie, I know what that is,’ but our goal is to be like, ‘Whatever you’re thinking, we’re going to give you something totally different — the thing you didn’t know you wanted.’”
