TL;DR Summary
Margot Robbie wanted Gal Gadot to play Barbie in her upcoming movie, but instead cast Issa Rae, Hari Nef, Emma Mackey, Dua Lipa, Alexandra Shipp, and Kate McKinnon as different versions of the iconic doll.

Robbie also discussed the challenges of portraying Barbie as a sexualized character in a children's movie, and how the film will acknowledge both the love and hate for the brand. Directed by Greta Gerwig and co-starring Ryan Gosling as Ken, "Barbie" will be released on July 21.
