Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie just moved a bunch of Hollywood figures into action.
The highly anticipated blockbuster starring Margot Robbie as the titular, iconic doll has added pop superstar Dua Lipa — in her first major acting role — to its cast, with the British "Don't Start Now" singer transforming into a mermaid doll in one of 24 character posters released Tuesday.
Alongside the singer, new images of Will Ferrell, Issa Rae, Simu Liu, America Ferrera, Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan, Michael Cera, upcoming Doctor Who star Ncuti Gatwa, and narrator Helen Mirren also debuted as part of the photo set alongside an additional shot of Robbie's leading man, Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken in the film.
The film will seemingly take a satirical look at the storied line of dolls, as the first teaser trailer for the film referenced Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and included dazzling choreography.
"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,'" Robbie told British Vogue of the film, while Ferrell told The Wall Street Journal that the project would "comment on male patriarchy and women in society."
