Then, joining Ryan Gosling amongst the Kens will be Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa, Grace and Frankie star Scott Evans, Vera actor Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Marvel alum Simu Liu.
If you thought the film would only include ‘dolls’, then you thought wrong! Writer and actress Emerald Fennell, Juno star Michael Cera, Stath Lets Flats creator Jamie Demetriou, Sex Education actor Connor Swindells, comedian Will Ferrell, child actor Ariana Greenblatt, and Superstore star America Ferrera are all confirmed to be a part of the Human cast.
Last but not least, as suggested by her voiceover work in Barbie’s teaser trailer, actress Helen Mirren has been given the role of the film’s narrator.
As well as the individual cast member photos, the team behind Barbie have also treated fans to the official promotional photo for the movie, which showcases the main Barbie and Ken lounging about in a giant 'B'. We're obsessed!
Directed by Little Women and Lady Bird’s Greta Gerwig, Barbie is set to be released in cinemas worldwide on July 21. We can’t wait!
