Emerald Fennell, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Rhea Perlman, and more round out the cast of Greta Gerwig's 'Barbie' film starring Margot Robbie.
Let's hope there's enough room in the Barbie Dream House, as the cast for Warner Bros. Barbie film has gotten much larger. Per Deadline, Kingsley Ben-Adir , Rhea Perlman , Ncuti Gatwa , Emerald Fennell , Sharon Rooney , Scott Evans , Ana Cruz Kayne , Connor Swindells , Ritu Arya , and Jamie Demetriou have all joined the film. Greta Gerwig directs from a screenplay she co-wrote with her partner, Noah Baumbach .
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY These casting additions are also a major sign of promise towards diversity, with several of the actors coming from different backgrounds. For instance, Rooney is of Scottish descent, Gatwa is Rwandan-Scottish, and Arya is English. That's not to mention previous additions like Liu and Rae, who are Chinese-Canadian and African American, respectively.
Hollywood has been trying to get a Barbie film off the ground ever since the massive, unpredicted success of 2014's The Lego Movie. Sony originally had a claim on the project, with Diablo Cody , Amy Schumer, and Anne Hathaway all attached at different points. In October 2018, Sony's option on the project expired and Warner Bros. grabbed it, with Robbie quickly signing on. Patty Jenkins was initially viewed as a director until July 2021, when Gerwig signed on to direct.
