Barbie: These big stars are in the cast
The live-action film about the world-famous Barbie doll is a big hit around the world. Thanks to clever marketing, edgy storytelling, and a great cast, it is making headlines since its premiere on July 21, 2023.
Greta Gerwig ('Lady Bird' and 'Little Women') directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Noah Baumbach.
The film was produced by LuckyChap, Margot Robbie's company, which has also produced hits such as 'I, Tonya' and 'Promising Young Woman.'
Greta Gerwig had a spectacular cast at her disposal for this remarkable movie project.
Of course. Twice nominated for Oscars for 'I, Tonya' (2017), and 'Bombshell' (2019), Robbie is a superstar. In addition, her role as Harley Quinn made her a household name among superhero-movie fans.
Oscar-nominated for 'Half Nelson' (2006) and 'La La Land' (2016), he is one of Hollywood's most recognizable A-Listers, with titles such as 'Drive' (2011) and 'First Man' (2018) among his best works, though few have the same prestige as 'The Notebook' (2004).
She was one of the most acclaimed comedians on 'SNL', from 2012 until recently she announced her resignation. McKinnon also made fabulous appearances in films, like 'Ghostbusters' (2016), 'Yesterday' (2019), and 'Bombshell' (2019).
'Zoolander' (2000), 'Elf' (2003), and 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy' (2004) are just a few of his countless successes. A genius of humor.
She played Betty Suarez in 'Ugly Betty' (2006-2010), shared trousers in 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' (2005), and she was Amy Sosa in 'Superstore' (2015-2021), among many other roles.
Carla Tortelli is a television legend. Thanks to 'Cheers' (1982-1993), Rhea Perlman has been nominated ten times for Emmys, winning four of them.
'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' (2021) has brought him Hollywood glory. He is also known for 'Kim's Convenience' and 'Pacific Rim' (2013).
Virtually unknown until Netflix saw her as the perfect Maeve Wiley for 'Sex Education' (2019-). She also appeared as an important character in 'Death on the Nile' (2022).
He starred in 'Superbad' and 'Juno' in 2007. 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World' (2010) and 'Arrested Development' (2003-2013) are also on his long list of successes.
Like his partner and friend Emma Mackey, his appearances prior to 'Sex Education' (2019) were limited to two episodic characters in 'Bob Servant' (2014) and 'Stonemouth' (2015). Eric Effiong has made him a star, however, and now he's propelling himself even further to glory as the new doctor in the BBC's legendary 'Doctor Who.'
She played Storm in 'X-Men: Apocalypse' (2016), Abby Suso in 'Love Simon' (2018), and Aaliyah in 'Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B'. A young, natural talent.
Yes, he is the younger brother of Chris Evans and, although his career has not led him to save the world, he has appeared in series such as 'Fringe' (2008), 'White Collar' (2012), and 'Grace and Frankie' (2018).
She was the director, screenwriter, and producer of 'Promising Young Woman' (2020) in which she also had a small role. She won the Oscar for Best Screenplay for the film. And, also, perhaps you remember her as young Camilla Parker-Bowles in 'The Crown'?
'Insecure': Issa Rae has played this character since 2016 and it is the role that brought her television glory. Now, on to the big screen!
He played Malcolm X in 'One Night in Miami' (2020) which got him a series of awards and nominations. On television and streaming, he has been most prolific in 'Peaky Blinders' (2017) and 'The OA' (2019).
Her most notable appearances have been in two recognizable series: 'Transparent' (2015) and 'You' (2018). Hari Nef combines acting with her work as a model and writer.
'Sex Education' (2019) delivered three actors to the Barbie film. Connor Swindells completes the trio. He also appeared in 'The Vanishing' (2019) and 'Emma' (2020).
Rooney appeared in an episode of the BBC's legendary 'Sherlock' (2013) and has also had roles in films such as 'Dumbo' (2019) and 'The Electrical Life of Louis Wain' (2019).
The youngest of the cast, she already has half a dozen projects under her belt. In fact, she was the young Gamora in 'Avengers: Infinity War' (2018) and she played Matilda, Gina Rodriguez's daughter, in 'Awake' (2021).
'Red Notice' (2021), the Netflix blockbuster, had her as Inspector Urvashi Das. On the same streaming platform, she also appeared in 'The Umbrella Academy' (2020) as Lila Pitts.
'The Afterparty' (2022) and 'Borderline' (2016) are some of his most prominent roles. However, none of these were like his Bus Rodent in 'Fleabag' (2016).
